Monica is mixing some custom-colored paint for her house. the color she wants requires 3⁄4 ounce of blue dye and 2⁄3 of an ounce of pink dye mixed with each gallon of white paint base. how much dye is needed to mix 8 gallons of paint?

Ounce of blue dye mixed with one gallon of white paint base = 3/4

Ounce of blue dye mixed with eight gallons of white paint base =

= 3 × 2

=6

Ounce of pink dye mixed with one gallon of white paint base = 2/3

Ounce of pink dye mixed with eight gallons of white paint base =

= 16/3

= 5.3

Hence, 6 ounce of blue dye and 5.3 ounce of pink dye are needed to mix with 8 gallons of paint.

=6

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
