Question

Shiva brought $52.75 to the art supply store. She bought a brush, a sketchbook, and a paint set.

The brush was 1/6 as much as the sketchbook, and the sketchbook cost 3/4 the cost of the paint
set. Shiva had $4.00 left over after buying these items.
What was the cost of each item?

The brush cost $__
The sketchbook cost $__
The paint set cost $__

Answer 1

the paint set, sketchbook, brush price in turn are : 26 ; 19,5 ; 3,25$

Explanation:

assume the price of the paint set is x($)

we have an equation

52,75-4= X + 3/4X +1/6×3/4X (4$ is the remaining amount after shiva bought these things above)

<=> X=26($)
