joe needs to paint all the airplane hangars at the airport , so he buys 360 gallons of paint to do the job . during the first week , he uses 1 / 4 of all the paint . during the second week , he uses 1 / 2 of the remaining paint . how many gallons of paint has joe used ?
"total paint initially = 360 gallons paint used in the first week = ( 1 / 4 ) * 360 = 90 gallons . remaning paint = 270 gallons paint used in the second week = ( 1 / 2 ) * 270 = 135 gallons total paint used = 225 gallons . option b"
add(multiply(divide(360, 4), 1), divide(subtract(360, multiply(divide(360, 4), 1)), 2))
