Question

Estimate the cost of painting a concrete patio if it is a 12 foot by 12 foot rectangle, and a quart of paint that covers 47 square feet costs $11.99.

Answer 1

Answer: $36.68 or $35.97. Read below.

Step-by-step explanation: You need to multiply the 12 foot by 12 foot and you would get 144 sq feet. Then divide 47 into 144. You will be left with 3.06, and if you need to round, you can round that to 3. Then you need to multiply 3 by $11.99 and you will be left with the cost for the paint, which is $35.97 if you do round to a three, and $36.68 if you do not round the three. So your answer is either $36.68 or $35.97 depending on whether you round or not.
