3.25 + 1.25 = 4.5

$81 / 4.5 = $18.00

4.3 + 1.7 = 6

$41.94 / 6 = $6.99

Okay so if your wondering how much the paint costs per gallon for Martin, then you add 3.25 to 1.25 and it equals 4.5. Then you divide it with $81 and it will equal $18.00. then you add 4.3 to 1.7 which equals 6. And last but not least you divide  $41.94 to 6 and you will get the total of $6.99 as your total cost.
