A warehouse, whose dimensions are shown below, needs primer ( a coating painted on to help protect a building ). The front and back of the warehouse each have a rollup door measuring 25 ft by 23 ft. The side of the warehouse facing the parking lot has a window measuring 32 in by 3 ft and an entry door measuring 4 ft by 81 in. The other side of the warehouse has no window or door.

Conversion facts for length

1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in)

1 yard (yd) = 3 feet (ft)

1 yard (yd) = 36 inches (in)

A) Assuming the roof, windows, and doors require no primer, what is the area in square feet that needs primer ? ( Do not round any intermediate computations and give your answer as a whole number)

B) The primer to be used is sold in cans. Each can contains enough primer to cover 440 ft^2. Assume there is no primer yet and partial cans cannot be bought. How many cans will need to be bought in order to paint the warehouse with primer?

C) What is the total cost of the primer needed for the warehouse if each can costs $31.50?
