Answer:

[tex]total \ cost =16.55(8) +5.97(3)=150.31[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Amanda bought g gallons of paint for $16.55 per gallon and t pints of paint thinner for $5.97 per pint

Total amount = rate per gallon times gallons + rate per pint times  pints

[tex]total amount =16.55 g +5.97 t[/tex]

amanda bought 8 gallons of paint and 3 pints of paint thinner

g=8 and t=3, substitute the values and find total cost

[tex]total \ cost =16.55(8) +5.97(3)=150.31[/tex]

The expression represents the total amount Amanda spends is $16.55g + $5.97t.

The total amount spent is $282.71.

What expression represents the total amount Amanda spends?

The total amount spent is the sum of the total cost f the paints and the thinner.

Total amount = total cost of the paint + total cost of the thinner

Total amount = ($16.55 x g) + ($5.97 x t)

Total amount = $16.55g + $5.97t

What is the total amount spent?

Total amount = ($16.55x 8) + ($5.97 x 3)

= $132,40 + $17.91

= $282.71
