All tubes of watercolor paint at an art supply store have the the same price. an artist has a coupon for $0.50 off each tube of paint she buys. she buys 6 tubes of paint and pays a total of $84.30 after the coupon is applied. write and solve an equation to find r, the regular price of each tube of paint. expalin each step of your solution.

Let us assume the regular price of each tube of paint = r.

0.50 off each tube.

New price of each tube = r - 0.50.

She buy 6 tubes.

Total price of 6 tubes = 6×(r-0.50).

We are given total price = $84.30 .

Therefore, we can setup an equation

6×(r-0.50) = 84.30.

Distributing 6 over (r-0.50), we get

6r - 3.0 = 84.30

Adding 3.0 on both sides, we get

6r - 3.0+3.0 = 84.30+3.0

6r = 87.30

Dividing both sides by 6, we get

6r/6 = 87.30/6

r = 14.55

answer: since the question is talking about growth you have to use the growth formula which is inital amount (1 + growth)^time

step-by-step explanation:

the intial amount is 1200, the growth is 4.8, and the time is 7. plug those numbers into the equation, also i think you have to change 4.8 into a percent. but, i have forgotton how to do that. if this is a online class go on to the lesson.
