P, in pints, that an art studio can buy with 
d dollars is given by the equation. What is the best interpretation of 
(4)/(25) as shown in the equation?
Choose 1 answer:
(A) The paint costs 
(4)/(25) of a dollar per pint.
(B) One dollar can buy 
(4)/(25) of a pint of paint.
(C) The art studio started with 
(4)/(25) of a pint of paint.
(D) The art studio can purchase at most 
(4)/(25) of a pint of paint.

Q. P=192+425d P=\frac{19}{2}+\frac{4}{25} d \newlineThe amount of paint, P P , in pints, that an art studio can buy with d d dollars is given by the equation. What is the best interpretation of 425 \frac{4}{25} as shown in the equation?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) The paint costs 425 \frac{4}{25} of a dollar per pint.\newline(B) One dollar can buy 425 \frac{4}{25} of a pint of paint.\newline(C) The art studio started with 425 \frac{4}{25} of a pint of paint.\newline(D) The art studio can purchase at most 425 \frac{4}{25} of a pint of paint.
  1. Understand the equation: Understand the equation.\newlineThe equation P=192+425dP=\frac{19}{2}+\frac{4}{25}d represents the amount of paint PP in pints that can be bought with dd dollars. The term 192\frac{19}{2} is a constant, which suggests a starting amount of paint that can be bought without spending any money. The term 425d\frac{4}{25}d represents the variable part of the equation, which changes depending on the amount of money dd spent.
  2. Analyze the term: Analyze the term (4)/(25)d(4)/(25)d.\newlineThe term (4)/(25)d(4)/(25)d suggests that for every dollar dd spent, (4)/(25)(4)/(25) pints of paint can be bought. This is because dd represents the number of dollars, and multiplying it by (4)/(25)(4)/(25) gives the additional pints of paint that can be bought with those dollars.
  3. Interpret the coefficient: Interpret the coefficient (425)(\frac{4}{25}). The coefficient (425)(\frac{4}{25}) in front of the variable dd tells us how much paint in pints can be bought per dollar. Therefore, for every dollar spent, (425)(\frac{4}{25}) pints of paint can be purchased.
  4. Match the interpretation: Match the interpretation to the given options.\newlineBased on the analysis, the coefficient (4)/(25)(4)/(25) means that one dollar can buy (4)/(25)(4)/(25) of a pint of paint. This matches option (B) from the given choices.
