You spend $20 total on paint and brushes. Paint cost $4 each and brushes cost $0.50 each. You buy twice as many brushes as paint. How many brushes and paint did you buy?

Brushes= 8, Paint= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total spending on paint and brush= $20

           Cost of each paint= $4

           Cost of each brush= $0.50.

∴ number of brushes bought is "2x".

Now, forming an equation to determine the number of paint and brushes bought.

⇒

⇒

⇒

Dividing both side by 5

⇒

∴

Hence, number of paint bought is 4 units.

Next finding the number of brushes bought.

Number of brushes bought=

∴ Number of brushes bought=

Hence, number of brushes bought is 8 units.
