Question

Vince's front porch is 8 feet wide and 12 feet long. Vince wants to stain the wood on the porch next weekend. The stain costs $0.69 per square foot. How much will it cost to buy enough stain for the whole porch?

Answer 1

$66.24

Explanation:

The area of Vince's porch is:

8 feet x 12 feet = 96 square feet

To find the cost of the stain, we need to multiply the area of the porch by the cost per square foot:

96 square feet x $0.69 per square foot = $66.24

So it will cost $66.24 to buy enough stain for the whole porch.
