Allyson · Answer 1

K

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor that will change in the expression will be K.

n = number of walls

K = units of $/ft²

L = length of each wall in feet

h = height of each wall in feet

If the customer will request a more expensive brand of paint, the only factor that will change is K, because K holds the price of the paint over how many square feet.
