Answer:

1050

Explanation:

So, we know 4/5 of a gallon can paint 280ft^2, but we don't know how much each gallon can paint, so to find x, do this

4/5x=280ft^2, next multiply both sides by 5/4 to get x by itself

x=350

Now multiply x by 3 to get your new answer.

350*3=1050

Hope this helps, feel free to leave any questions.
