A. 38.50/350 is cost per square foot.
divide 825/350 and round to the next higher gallon.
square feet / coverage in square feet = gallons needed.
A. Explain how to calculate the cost of paint per square foot.find this value.show your work.
B.kaylee measured the room she wants to paint and calculated a total area of 825 square feet.If the paint is only available in one-gallon cans, how many cans of paint should she buy? Justify your answer.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
divide 825/350 and round to the next higher gallon.
square feet / coverage in square feet = gallons needed.
In this case, a gallon of paint costs $38.50 and covers 350 square feet. To find the cost per square foot, you can use the following formula:
Cost per square foot = Total cost of paint / Total square footage covered
So, in this case, the cost per square foot would be:
Cost per square foot = $38.50 / 350 square feet
Calculating this will give us the cost per square foot.
B. Kaylee has measured the room and found a total area of 825 square feet. Since the paint is only available in one-gallon cans, we need to figure out how many cans of paint she should buy based on this area.
To do this, we can divide the total area by the coverage of paint per gallon. According to the given information, one gallon covers 350 square feet.
Number of cans = Total area / Coverage of paint per can
So, in this case, the number of cans Kaylee should buy would be:
Number of cans = 825 square feet / 350 square feet
Calculate this division to find out the number of cans she needs to buy.
For both calculations, perform the division or calculation using a calculator, and you will find the respective values.
