Question

It takes 3 liters of paint to cover an area of 24 square meters. What percentage increase in the quantity of paint would be required to cover an area of 50.4 square meters?

Answer 1

110 [%].

Explanation:

if the initial area is 24 m² and final area 50.4 m², then the required percentage can be calculated as:

`(50.4)/(24)*100-100=110` ,

where 50.4/24*100 - the final percentage.

P.S. It means, the final value of the paint is 3*2.1=6.3 [liters].
