Answer:

  £30

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area of the four walls is ...

  A = 4 × LW

  A = 4 × (2.4 m)(3.7 m) = 35.52 m²

Subtracting the area of the door, we find the painted area to be ...

  35.52 m² -(2 m)(0.7 m) = 34.12 m²

Painting this area will require ...

  (34.12 m²)/(8 m²/L × 1.5 L/tin) = 2.8433... tins

Aisha will need to buy 3 tins of paint, for which she pays 2.5 times the price of 1 tin:

  2.5 × £12 = £30 . . . . Aisha's cost to paint her living room

£25 or £20.10

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the area to be painted:

2.1x4.5= 9.45m^2 for each wall

x4= 37.8m^2

area of door= 1.8x0.9= 1.62m^2

subtract the area of the door from the wall area

37.8-1.62= 36.18m^2 to be painted

divide the area by the area that 1L of paint can cover

16.18/12= 3.015 L needed

if 1.5L= £10 then, 3L= £20. she needs 2 cans + an extra 0.015 L- so another can (3 cans total) add price up.

£30- but buy 2 get 3rd 1/2 price, so take £5 off. price is £25

or

calculate price for 0.015L

1.5=£10

divide both sides by 100

0.015= £ 0.10

if 1.5L= £10 then, 3L= £20. she needs 2 cans + an extra 0.015 L

£20+£0.10= £20.10

I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS RIGHT but hope it helps :)
