Cara is painting her living room. The room measures 10.6 feet by 11.6 feet. The ceiling is 10 feet
high
If paint covers 400 square feet, per gallon, and costs $14.95 a gallon, how much will it cost to paint
Cara's room?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$29.90

Step-by-step explanation:

Can you only buy paint by the gallon?  That is what I am thinking.  

She is painting 4 walls.  I am thinking that she is not painting the floor or the ceiling.

The area of the four walls would be:

(11.6 x 10) = 116

(11.6 x 10) = 116

10.6 x 10) = 106

(10.6 x 10) = 106

This totals 444 square feet.  Since a gallon can only paint 400 square feet, she will need to buy 2 gallons for 29.90
