Christine figures it would take a pint of paint to paint the front and back of 1 door in her house.  She has 8 doors to paint.  At the paint store, she can either buy 8 separate pints of paint for $8.00 a pint or a gallon of paint (which is the same as 8 pints) for a flat $55.00  How much money will she save if she buys the gallon of paint instead of 8 pints?
8 pints of paint cost $8.00 each so they would cost her 8*8 = $<<8*8=64.00>>64.00
8 pints of paint cost $64.00 or she could buy a gallon of paint for $55.00. If she buys a gallon, she will save 64-55 = $9.00
