The paint needed for one coat of paint for the building costs R110 per liter. If one liter covers 5m2, calculate the y
To calculate the cost of paint needed for a specific area, we need to know the total area that needs to be painted.
Let's say the total area of the building is A square meters.
Since one liter of paint covers 5 square meters, we can calculate the total paint needed in liters using the formula:
Total Paint needed (in liters) = Total Area (in square meters) / Coverage Area per liter
In this case, the coverage area per liter is 5 square meters.
So, Total Paint needed (in liters) = A / 5
To calculate the cost of paint needed, we multiply the total paint needed by the cost per liter:
Cost of paint needed = Total Paint needed (in liters) * Cost per liter
Now, let's calculate the cost of paint needed for the building.
If we have the total area of the building, we can substitute the value into the formula:
Cost of paint needed = (A / 5) * 110
Note: The value of A needs to be provided for an accurate calculation.
