How to Calculate Paint Cost?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Paint Cost.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total gallons of paint needed (gal). The total gallons of paint needed (gal) is given as 5.
- Next, determine the cost per gallon of paint ($/gal). The cost per gallon of paint ($/gal) is provided as 30.
- Finally, calculate the Paint Cost using the equation above:
PC = GP * CPG
The values given above are inserted into the equation below:
PC = 5 * 30 = 150 ($)
Example Problem #2:
The variables needed for this problem are provided below:
total gallons of paint needed (gal) = 2
cost per gallon of paint ($/gal) = 20
Entering these values and solving gives:
PC = GP * CPG = 40.00 ($)
