Answer:
The cost for painting will be $212.
Step-by-step explanation:
I am painting the walls and ceiling of a rectangular 20 x 30 ft room. The walls are 10 feet tall.
So, the total area to be painted = {2 × (20 + 30) × 10} + (20 × 30) = 1600 sq. ft.
Now, a gallon of paint covers 400 square feet and cost $53 per gallon.
So, the number of gallons of paint required will be gallons.
And the cost for painting will be $(4 × 53) = $212. (Answer)
