Answer:
Total cost of the indoor paint in storage = $462
Step-by-step explanation:
Total gallons of paint the store has = 35
Fraction of paints for outdoor use = [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Number of gallons for outdoor use can be found out by finding [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of total gallons of pain which is 35.
So, number of gallons for outdoor use = [tex]\frac{2}{5}\times 35[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{70}{5}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]14[/tex] gallons
The remaining gallons are for indoor use.
Number of gallons for indoor use = [tex]35-14=21[/tex] gallons
Cost per gallon of paint = $22.
Total cost of indoor paint in storage = [tex]Unit\ cost\times Total\ gallons\ of\ indoor\ paint[/tex]
⇒ [tex]22\times 21[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\$462[/tex] (Answer)
