Question

What is Katie's cost for the project?

Answer 1

Total cost of the painting project for Katie = $850

Explanation:

Length ‘l’ = `11(3/4)’`
Breadth b = `9(1/2)’`

Total distance to be covered = perimeter of the top of the room
`= 2*l + 2 * b =( 2 * 11(3/4)) + (2 * 9(1/2)`

`= (2 * (47/4)) + (2 * (19/2))`

= (47/2) + 19 = 85/2 ‘#

Cost of painting per foot = $20

Cost of painting (85/2)’ = 20 * (85/2) = $850
