QuestionThis question has two parts. First, answer Part A. Then, answer Part B. Part A
Ishi bought a \\ on the canvas and paints.
Which equation can be used to determine the cost, , of each tube of paint?
A)
B)
C)
D)
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking? We need to find the equation that lets us calculate how much each paint tube costs, knowing Ishi bought one canvas and 8 tubes for a total price. Watch out! Don't mix up the price of the canvas with the price of the paint tubes!
STEP 2
1. Set up the equation.
2. Check the equation.
STEP 3
Alright, let's break this down!
Ishi bought one canvas for and 8 tubes of paint.
We don't know the cost of each paint tube yet, so let's call that .
The total she spent was .
STEP 4
We can **represent** the total cost of the paint tubes by multiplying the number of tubes (**8**) by the cost per tube ().
This gives us or .
STEP 5
Now, we **add** the cost of the canvas () to the total cost of the paint tubes ().
This should **equal** the total amount Ishi spent, which is .
So, our equation becomes:
STEP 6
Let's **double-check** our equation to make sure it makes sense.
The equation says that the price of the canvas plus 8 times the price of each paint tube equals the total amount spent.
That sounds exactly right!
STEP 7
Now, let's **compare** our equation to the options given.
Our equation, , perfectly matches option A!
Boom!
STEP 8
The equation that can be used to determine the cost, , of each tube of paint is A) .
