Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume these are the different prices of one (1) gallon of paint for three different brand name and choice of colors:

1. Delux brand: Red = $19 per gallon

2. Golden sun: White = $15 per gallon

3. Luxury: Green = $20 per gallon.

Based on the data above, Mang Jose's budget could be drafted:

1. if he chooses the Delux brand/color red, then he will need approximately 11 gallons of the paint (2700/250 square fit) = 10.8, which would cost = $209 (11*$19).

2. if he chooses the Golden sun brand/color white then he will need approximately 11 gallons of paint (2700/250 square fit) = 10.8, which would cost = $165 (11*$15).

3. if he chooses the Luxury brand/color green then he will need approximately 11 gallons of paint (2700/250 square fit) = 10.8, which would cost = $220 (11*$20).
