Question

We are painting a rectangular wall of a large room. The dimensions of the wall are 35feet long and 21.5 feet wide. If the total cost of the paint was 421.40 what was the cost in dollars of the paint rounded to the nearest cent

Answer 1

56 cent per ft²

Explanation:

Wall dimension = 35 feets * 21.5 feets

Total cost of paint used = 421.40

Area of wall = Area of rectangle = Length * width

Area of wall = 35 feets * 21.5 feets

Area of wall = 752.5 ft²

Cost of paint per square feet:

Total coast of paint / Area of wall

$421.40 / 752.5 ft²

= $0.56 per ft²

= 0.56 * 100 = 56
