Question 2
One gallon of paint will cover 350 square feet and costs $35, and each surface will require two coats.
Using your answer to question 1, determine the total number of gallons required and total cost for
paint, by rounding up to the nearest gallon.

of paint would cover
Grand Total Sq. Footage to
be painted
No. of gallons of paint
needed for the job
Cost of one gall of paint
Total Cost of the paint
=C55
=C64/C63
=No. of gallons needed for the job*Cost of one gallon of paint
Question 3
Using a painting rate of 150 square feet per hour (including prep time), a labor rate of $20 per hour, and a desired
profit margin of 30% (or 0.3), calculate the total labor cost, profit margin, and final bid price for this painting
job—including the total paint cost from question 2.
