18. Ericka bought 5 palettes and 3 paint brushes for $22.40. She could have bought 14 palettes with the same amount of money. If she had bought 5 paint brushes and no palettes, how much more money would she have had to pay?

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

since 14 palette can be bought for $22.40

then one pallet will be bought for $1.6

so 5 pallet = $8

the amount for 3 brushes = $22.40-$8 =$14.4

so the amount for one brush = 14.4/3=4.8

therefore the amount for 5 brushes =$24

therefore Ericka will extra ($24 -22.40)

=$1.6

since 14 palette can be bought for $22.40
then one pallet will be bought for $1.6
so 5 pallet = $8
the amount for 3 brushes = $22.40-$8 =$14.4
so the amount for one brush = 14.4/3=4.8
therefore the amount for 5 brushes =$24
therefore Ericka will extra ($24 -22.40)

=$1.6
