Respuesta :

179.1 is how much money she is gonna spend on paint to cover the outside of the house

Answer:

$179.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Total area to be painted = 2,250 sq.ft

area covered by per gallon of paint = 250 sq.ft

Hence, gallons of paint required to paint 2,250 sq.ft is...

2250/250 = 9

so, 9 gallons of paint are required to paint 2,250 sq.ft

cost per gallon of paint = $19.90

so, cost of 9 gallons is...

19.90*9 = 179.1
