Venancio needs to paint 8 game boards for the carnival. Each game board is divided into 12 parts. He paints 5 parts of 8 game boards yellow, 3 parts of 6 game boards red, 2 parts of 7 game boards green, and 15 parts purple. How many more parts, p, does Venancio have left to paint?
Well, well, well, it seems like Venancio has quite the artsy task ahead of him! Let's calculate how many parts he has left to paint, shall we?
To find the total number of parts Venancio painted, we can add the parts he painted for each color together.
So, yellow parts would be 5 x 8 = 40 parts.
Red parts would be 3 x 6 = 18 parts.
Green parts would be 2 x 7 = 14 parts.
And finally, purple parts would be 15 parts.
Now, if we add all these parts together, we get a grand total of 40 + 18 + 14 + 15 = 87 parts.
But hold your laughter, because that is not the final answer! We need to find out how many parts Venancio has left to paint. To do that, we need to subtract the parts he painted from the total number of parts in all the game boards.
Each game board has 12 parts, and Venancio has 8 boards. So the total number of parts in all the game boards would be 12 x 8 = 96 parts.
And now, my friend, it's time for the great reveal! If we subtract the parts Venancio painted (87) from the total number of parts (96), we find that he has p = 96 - 87 = 9 more parts left to paint.
Voila! Venancio just needs to paint these 9 parts, and his game boards will be ready for the carnival! I hope I didn't "clown" around too much while explaining this.
