Question

A painter is going to charge $90 for paint. Painting your bedroom takes 1 hour and costs $125. Painting your kitchen takes 4 hours and costs $230. How much will it cost to paint the outside of your house if it will take 10 hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

$440

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to subtract the cost of paint from the total to then calculate the per hour charge.

125-90= $35/hr

230-90= $140

140/4= $35/hr

Next you multiply the per hour rate by the number of hours and then add in the cost of the paint.

10*35= $350

350+90= $440
