Answer 1

We need to solve how much it cost to paint a room with are 459 ft² given that a room with an area of 306 ft² costs $72. The solution is shown below:
Cost per area = $72 / 306 ft²
Cost per area = $0.2353 / ft²

Solving the cost for the similar room:
Costs = $0.2353 * 459 ft²
Costs = $108

The answer is $108.
