The paint needed for one coat of paint for the building costs R110 per liter if 1 liter covers 5m^2 ,calculate the cost of the paint
Don't you think we would need some kind of data for the dimension of the building?
Once you have that, divide the total area by 5 m^2 to find how
many litres of paint you need, then multiply by 110
To calculate the cost of the paint, we need to determine the total area of the building that needs to be covered by paint, and then divide that by the coverage rate per liter of paint.
Let's assume the total area of the building is A square meters.
Given that 1 liter of paint covers 5m^2, we can calculate the total number of liters of paint needed by dividing the total area by the coverage rate:
Number of liters of paint needed = A / 5
Now, to find the cost of the paint, we need to multiply the number of liters of paint needed by the cost per liter:
Cost of paint = (A / 5) * R110
Therefore, the formula to calculate the cost of the paint is:
Cost of paint = (Area / 5) * 110, where Area is the total area of the building in square meters.
Use this formula with the given values to calculate the cost of the paint for your specific building.
