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
