The paint needed for one coat of paint for the building costs R110 per liter if 1 liter covers 5m² . Calculate the cost of the paint
To calculate the cost of the paint, we need to know the area of the building that needs one coat of paint.
Let's say the total area of the building that needs to be painted is A square meters.
Since 1 liter of paint covers 5m², we can calculate the number of liters needed using the formula:
Number of liters = Area of the building / Coverage per liter
So, Number of liters = A / 5
Now, we can calculate the cost of the paint using the formula:
Cost of paint = Number of liters * Cost per liter
Substituting the values, we have:
Cost of paint = (A / 5) * 110
Therefore, the cost of the paint for one coat of the building would be (A / 5) * 110 Rands.
