Question:
In this problem, you will calculate an estimate for how much it would cost in order to paint a room. The room’s length and width are 170 in. and 135 in. respectively. The height of the room from floor to ceiling is 8.3 feet. The room has two windows, each measures at 15 square feet and no paint is needed for the windows. The door to the room measures 20 square feet and will not need to be painted. No paint will be needed for the floor either. It is estimated that one gallon of paint covers 350 square feet. The paint you have chosen costs $21.20 per liter. You will get a 5 % discount because you will be using the store’s card. If sales tax is 7.5 % how much do you have to pay when leaving the store with enough paint to paint the walls and ceiling of the room with one coat of paint?
