Hello,

x = The number of cans of paint.

y = number of brushes.

25x + 12.75y = 327

Thanks,
Let x be the number of cans bought and y the number of brush bought.

He spent $25 on each can, so $25x per x cans.
He spent $12.75 on each brush, so $12.75y on y brushes.
In total, he spent $327.

From those information, we can get the equation:
25x + 12.75y = 327.

Hope this helps! :D
