How to solve math Paint brush cost .79 paint cost .89 What combo of brush & paint could u by fo4.15?

brush = 0.79 cents/brush


number of brushes = B





paint = 0.89 cents/paint


number of paint = P





total cost = $4.15





0.79B + 0.89P = 4.15





we also know that B and P must be whole numbers where


0.79B %26lt; 4.15


B %26lt; 5.25


limiting B to 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5


and


0.89P %26lt; 4.15


P %26lt; 4.66


limiting P to 1, 2, 3 or 4





So using the equation 0.79B + 0.89P = 4.15


if we test B for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5


and test P for 1, 2, 3, 4


we find that B=3 and P=2How to solve math Paint brush cost .79 paint cost .89 What combo of brush %26amp; paint could u by fo4.15?
brush .79 x 3 = 2.37


+


pain .89x 2 = 1.78





altogether = 4.15
