Victoria is remodeling her house and she decides to paint a wall. She was able to cover 478.3 inches with the paint that she had. She figures out that this is only 92% of the total wall. How much space, in inches, does she have to paint total, including what she has already painted?

92% of the total space = 478.3 inches, let S represent the total space...
S x .92 = 478.3
divide both sides of the equation by .92 to solve for S...
S = 519.89
