Question

This rectangular wall is to be painted. Paint is sold in tins. How much does it cost to paint the wall?

Answer 1

Answer:

£23.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Area to be painted:

3.6 m * 8.3 m = 29.88 m^2

The area to be painted is 29.88 m^2.

A tin of paint covers 8 m^2. We divide to find the number of tins needed.

29.88/8 = 3.735

Since full tins must be bought, the smallest number of tins needed is 4.

Now we find the price of 4 tins. 1 tin costs £5.99, so 4 tins cost:

4 * £5.99 = £23.96
