A paint store has 35 gallons of paint in storage, 2/5 of which are for outdoor use. The others are for indoor use. If each gallon costs $22, what is the total cost of indoor paint in storage?

You need 3/5 of the 35 gallons of paint, so all you need to do is divide 35 by 5 to get 7 and multiply that by 3 to get 21. 3/5 of 35 is 21. Then, if each gallon is $22, you just multiply 21x22 to get your cost.

What is an expression?
An expression is a way of writing a statement with more than two variables or numbers with operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Example:
2 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression .
2 + 4 is an expression .
35 - 4 is an expression .
35 รท 4 is an expression .
We have,
Number of gallons = 35
Number of gallons for outdoor use = 2/5 x 35 = 2 x 7 = 14
Number of gallons for indoor use = 35 - 14 = 21
Cost of 1 gallon = $22
Cost of 21 gallons = 22 x 21 = $462
Thus,
1 gallon = $22
21 gallons = $462
The cost of indoor paint in storage is $462.
