Question

Kayla is painting a room that is 12 feet long and 12 feet wide. The ceiling in the room is 8 feet high. The cost of painting the walls and door is $0.33 per square foot. The cost of painting the ceiling is $0.66 per square foot. Enter the cost, in dollars, for Kayla to paint the room.​

Answer 1

Answer: $221.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Each wall has a length of 12 and a height of 8 and there are 4 walls

(12 x 8) x 4 = 384 sq ft

multiply sq ft by cost ($0.33)

384 x 0.33 = $126.72 for the walls and door

The ceiling has a length of 12 and a width of 12

12 x 12 = 144 sq ft

multiply sq ft by cost ($0.66)

144 x 0.66 = 95.04

add the costs

126.72 + 95.04 = $221.76 total
