Aisha wants to paint the four walls of her living room.
Each wall is 2.4 m high and 5.2 m long.
One wall has a door of 2 m by 0.8 m.
Tins of paint cost £12 per 2 litre tin.
Each litre of paint can cover 12 m2 of wall.
There is an offer of: Buy 2 tins get the 3rd at half price.
How much will Aisha pay to paint her living room?

The first step is to determine the area of the walls. The walls have the shape of a rectangle. Thus, the formula for the area of a rectangle would be used to determine the area of the wall.

Area of the three walls without a door : 3 x (length x width)

3 x (2.4 x 5.2) = 37.44 m²

Area of the fourth wall with a door : area of the wall - area of the door

(2.4 x 5.2) - (2 x 0.8) = 10.88m²

Total area of the walls : area of the three walls + area of the wall with the door

10.88m² + 37.44 m² = 48.32 m²

The next step is to determine the number of tins that would be needed:

48.32 /12 = 4.03

5 tins would needed

Cost of the 5 tins: (4 x 12) + (0.5 x 12) = $54
