12*23 -

10*20=200

10*3=30

2*23=46

200+30+46=230+46

230+46=276

276*.08=22.08

It'll cost $22.08 per wall - > $44.16 total.

Arianna Barber · Answer 2

If you get the area of the wall by multiplying 12 x 23 you get 276ft^2. You then multiply the area by the cost of each square foot of paint ($0.08). This gives you the sum of $22.08. You then multiply this number by the number of walls (2). This will leave you with the answer of $44.16
