Question

The classroom at BTC is a rectangular box (rectangular prism) and we will only paint the walls and ceiling. Not the floor. The dimensions of the room are 28.7ft wide by 30.8ft long by 9.1 ft in height. The windows and doors do not need to be painted. There is one window that is 7.8ft by 2.8ft. There are 4 doors. Two doors measure 7ft tall by 3.3 feet wide, and the two other doors measure 6.3ft tall by 8ft wide. My choice for paint is Glow in the Dark paint, because...why not? The thick coverage only requires one coat, and it glows in the dark! The administration's choice is regular paint eggshell. Both colors are available in a 1 gallon can. The price for a 1 gallon can of regular paint is $24, but is on sale for 25% off the regular price. This type of paint requires 2 coats. Glow in the Dark paint: The price for a 1 gallon can is $125. This type of paint only requires 1 coat. Each gallon of paint will cover an area of about 250 square feet. Labor will cost $.50 (50 cents) per square foot. Do the calculations for each type of paint and make your case for which type is more cost effective.
