( The surface area of the container is about 1601.4 cm )
The container is coated with 2 layers of specialty paint that costs $6.05 per jar. Each jar of paint covers 800 cm squared. How much does the paint cost?
it will take just over 2 jars of paint (1601.4/800 ≈ 2) for a coat.
So, figure the cost of 4 jars of paint.
of course, maybe you want to buy an extra jar for those last 2.8 cm^2 of area. I doubt it.
To find out how much the paint costs, we first need to calculate the total surface area that needs to be covered.
Since the surface area of the container is given as 1601.4 cm, this is the total area we need to cover.
Now, since each jar of paint covers an area of 800 cm, we can calculate the number of jars needed by dividing the total surface area by the area covered per jar:
Number of jars = Total surface area / Area covered per jar
Number of jars = 1601.4 cm / 800 cm
Number of jars ≈ 2.00175
Since we cannot purchase a fraction of a jar, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, we need to purchase 3 jars of paint.
Next, we need to find the cost of 3 jars of paint. Each jar costs $6.05.
Total cost of paint = Number of jars * Cost per jar
Total cost of paint = 3 jars * $6.05 per jar
Total cost of paint = $18.15
Therefore, the paint will cost $18.15.
First, we need to find the total surface area that needs to be coated with paint. We are given that the surface area of the container is about 1601.4 cm.
To find the cost of the paint, we need to calculate how many jars of paint are required to cover the surface area of the container.
1. Calculate the number of square centimeters covered by one jar of paint:
The given information states that one jar of paint covers 800 cm².
2. Calculate the total number of jars required:
Divide the surface area of the container by the number of square centimeters covered by one jar of paint:
Total Jars = Surface Area ÷ Area Covered by One Jar
= 1601.4 cm² ÷ 800 cm²
Now we know how many jars of paint are needed to cover the container.
3. Calculate the cost of the paint:
Multiply the number of jars required by the cost of one jar of paint:
Cost of Paint = Total Jars × Cost per Jar
Now we can compute the answer:
Cost of Paint = (1601.4 cm² ÷ 800 cm²) × $6.05
