Answer:

He will not have enough money

Explanation:

you were able to identify the total area

which is 72+42 = 114 m^2

each tin covers 12 m^2,

114/12 = 9.5, so will need 10 tins (can't buy half a tin)

each tin cost 19£, so 10 will cost

10*19=190£

Caretaker will not have enough money

he is 60£ short
