The paint needed for one coat of paint for the building costs R110 per liter. If one liter covers 5m2, calculate the cost
To calculate the cost of painting the building, we need to determine how many liters of paint are needed.
First, let's find out the total area to be painted.
If one liter of paint covers 5m², we can calculate the total area by dividing the area of the building by the coverage of one liter.
Let's assume the area of the building is A square meters. We can use the formula:
Total liters of paint needed = A / 5
Since the cost per liter is R110, the total cost can be calculated as follows:
Total cost = Total liters of paint needed * Cost per liter
Now, to find the cost, we need to know the area of the building in square meters.
