No Com A certain shade of paint is made by mixing 5 parts blue paint with 2 parts white paint. To get
the correct shade, how many quarts of white paint should be mixed with 8.5 quarts of blue
paint?

5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

8.5-5=3.5

so you need to add 3.5 to the amount of white paint.

2+3.5 is 5.5

The answer is 5.5

answer:   expression= p+p*d%

price reduction + sale price = $625

sale price: $p+$p*d%

where d% is the percentage of discount

step-by-step explanation:

original price = p

price went down by $150 price reduction $p*d%

sale price= $ 475

therefore the price before sale is: $625

and the expression that shows the price before sale is: p+p*d%
