Full solution

Q. Corey bought 2122\frac{1}{2} liters of paint for $60\$60. \newlineWhat was the cost per liter of paint?\newline$\$ \square
  1. Identify Total Paint Amount: Identify the total amount of paint bought in liters. Corey bought 2122\frac{1}{2} liters of paint. This is the same as 2.52.5 liters (since 12\frac{1}{2} is equivalent to 0.50.5).
  2. Calculate Total Paint Cost: Identify the total cost of the paint bought.\newlineThe total cost for the 2.52.5 liters of paint is $60\$60.
  3. Calculate Cost Per Liter: Calculate the cost per liter of paint.\newlineTo find the cost per liter, divide the total cost by the total amount of paint in liters.\newlineCost per liter = Total cost / Total amount of paint\newlineCost per liter = $60/2.5\$60 / 2.5 liters\newlineCost per liter = $24\$24 per liter
