1.A swimming pool will be 30' wide by 100' long, being a total of 4' deep
throughout. Each wall of the pool (plus the bottom) must be covered by one
coat of paint and two coats of waterproof lacquer. A gallon of paint covers
80 square feet and costs $22. A gallon of lacquer covers 25 square feet and
costs
$35.
Determine
*how many gallons of paint and lacquer will be required to coat the pool,
using the above specifications, and
*how much will be spent on the paint and lacquer
ANS Height x width 4*30, Height x length 4*100, Length x width 100*30
120, 400, 3000
120, 400
240 sq.ft + 800 sq.ft + 3000 sq.ft = 4,040 sq.ft
A gallon of paint covers 80 sq. ft. So divide 80 into 4,040 sq. ft. to find
that you will need 50.5 cans of paint or 51 cans of paint. The cost of one

, coat of paint will be 51 cans of paint times $22 per can to reach the cost
of $1,122.
You will then need to divide 25 into 4,040 sq. ft. to find that you will nee
161.6 cans (this number must then be multiplied by two, because the
pool needs to have two coats of waterproof lacquer). So, you will need
324 cans of lacquer at $35 per can. The total amount of lacquer will be
$11,340. The final step is to add $11,340 to
$1,122 to get a total of $12,462.
