william bought paint brushes for his remodeling project.He saw 3 shelves with 6 paint brushes on each shelf.The paintbrushes are $4 each.How much will william spend if he buys all the paint brushes on the 3 shelves?
The answer is 72. If there are three shelves with 6 brushes, you first can figure out how many brushes there are. 6 x 3 = 18. Then, if each brush is 4 dollars, 4 times 18 = 72.
