Answer: The paint for this art project will cost $165.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to divide the number of square feet to cover (1,750) by the number of square feet that 1 gallon of paint can cover (350)

1,750 /350 = 5 gallons

We will need 5 gallons. Now, we simply multiply the number of gallons needed by the cost of each gallon of paint:

5 x 33 = $165

The paint for this art project will cost $165.
