We can take area as,

Area = A

The required formula is,

→ A of wall ÷ A that paint's can will cover

Then find the no. of cans of paint that are needed to paint the wall.

Now use the formula,

→ A of wall ÷ A that paint's can will cover

→ 10.37 ÷ 3.1

→ 3.34516129032

→ 4 cans (by nearest value)

Hence, we need 4 cans to paint the wall.
