A customer asks the clerk for a paintbrush and a bucket of whitewash for a total price of B dollars. If the paintbrush costs 100 cents less than twice the price of a bucket of whitewash, what is the price of half a bucket of whitewash in dollars?  Choose one.
A) (B + 2)/2.	B) (B + 2)/5.	C) (2B + 200)/3.	D) (B + 2)/3.	E) (B - 2)/6.
P = 2w - 100   thus total price in cents as given should be   2w-200 +w = 100(B + 2)/5.   3w - 200 = 100 (B + 2)/5.   3w = 100 (B + 2)/5.+200   3w =b+2 (in dollars)   w/2 = (b+2)/6   Ans:(B + 2)/5.
