Question
An art shop sells art supplies:A tube of paint costs 22.A beginners package discount is $4 cheaper than buying the art supplies separately.Paint is not discounted in a beginners package.Statement: Both canvasses can be painted with a beginners package True False Insufficient information
Solution
The statement is False.
Here's why:
First, let's calculate the cost of the paint in the beginners package. Since a tube of paint costs 1.50 * 4 = $6.
Next, let's subtract the cost of the paint from the total cost of the beginners package to find the combined cost of the small and large canvases. 6 (cost of paint) = $16.
Now, let's calculate the total area of the canvases. The small canvas is 1 foot by 1.5 feet, so its area is 1 * 1.5 = 1.5 square feet. The large canvas is 2 feet by 3 feet, so its area is 2 * 3 = 6 square feet. The total area of both canvases is 1.5 + 6 = 7.5 square feet.
Since a tube of paint covers 2 square feet of canvas, the four tubes of paint in the beginners package can cover 2 * 4 = 8 square feet.
Therefore, the statement is false because the beginners package provides enough paint to cover both canvases.
