Question

Paint cost $19.95 per gallon. Nikki needs 10.25 gallons to complete a painting project. How much will Nikki spend on paint? Remember to ground the nearest penny.

Answer 1

Answer: it depends. If you can buy the paint by the quarter gallon (because she needs 10.25 gallons) then 19.95 x 10.25 = $ 204.49

If she cannot buy the partial paint she needs then she would have to buy 11 gallons :

19.95 x 11 = $219.45
