Answer:
The total paint cost is £380. The total tiles cost is £1800. The total cost is £2180.
Step-by-step explanation:
To know the cost, you need to calculate the area of the community hall.
- Area of the ceiling/floor: 40m x 15m = 600m2
So together, their area is 1200m2.
- Area of the small walls of the community hall: 15m x 3m = 45m2/each wall
Together the two walls have an area of 90m2
- Area of the big walls of the community hall: 40m x 3m = 120m
Together the two big walls have an area of 240m2
- So, therefore, the total area of the community hall: 1530m2
Painting:
They are going to paint the walls and the ceiling and each 10L tin covers 25m2 so:
Area of the walls and ceiling = 600m2 + 90m2 + 240m2 = 930m2
930m2 ÷ 25m2 = 37.5 tins. Since you can't have half a tin, they will need 38 10L tins.
38 x £10 = £380
Floor:
1m2 floor tiles costs £3 so 600m2 x £3 = £1800
Total:
£1800 + £380 = £2180
