Question

There is a wall with twelve sections that need to be painted red, blue and purple, just like the one in the picture. A pot of paint for one section costs $15 for red, $15 for blue, and $40 for purple. How much is the paint going to cost to paint all twelve sections?

Answer 1

To paint all twelve sections, the total cost would be $840.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the cost of painting all twelve sections, we need to add up the cost of painting each section.

1. The total cost for one section to be painted red is $15.
2. The total cost for one section to be painted blue is $15.
3. The total cost for one section to be painted purple is $40.

Adding up the costs of all twelve sections, we get:

Total cost = (Cost of one section painted red) + (Cost of one section painted blue) + (Cost of one section painted purple)

Total cost = (12 x $15) + (12 x $15) + (12 x $40)

Total cost = $180 + $180 + $480

Total cost = $840
