Enter the area of the wall to be covered with Sheetrock and the price per square foot of Sheetrock, as well as the number of Sheetrock panels needed and the installation cost per Sheetrock panel into the calculator to determine the total Sheetrock price.

Sheetrock Price Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Sheetrock price. 

SP = (A * P) + (N * I)

Variables:

  • SP is the total Sheetrock price ($)
  • A is the area of the wall to be covered with Sheetrock (square feet)
  • P is the price per square foot of Sheetrock ($)
  • N is the number of Sheetrock panels needed
  • I is the installation cost per Sheetrock panel ($)

To calculate the Sheetrock price, multiply the area of the wall to be covered with Sheetrock by the price per square foot of Sheetrock. Then, multiply the number of Sheetrock panels needed by the installation cost per Sheetrock panel. Add the two results together to get the total Sheetrock price.

What is a Sheetrock Price?

A Sheetrock price refers to the cost of purchasing Sheetrock, also known as drywall, which is a type of construction material used to create walls and ceilings in buildings. The price can vary depending on factors such as the size and thickness of the Sheetrock, the brand, and the location where it is being sold. It is typically sold in sheets, and the price is often given per sheet.

How to Calculate Sheetrock Price?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Sheetrock Price using the given formula:

  1. First, determine the area of the wall to be covered with Sheetrock (A) in square feet.
  2. Next, determine the price per square foot of Sheetrock (P) in dollars.
  3. Next, determine the number of Sheetrock panels needed (N).
  4. Next, determine the installation cost per Sheetrock panel (I) in dollars.
  5. Finally, calculate the Sheetrock Price (SP) using the formula: SP = (A * P) + (N * I).
  6. After inserting the values of the variables and calculating the result, check your answer.

Example Problem:

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge:

Area of the wall to be covered with Sheetrock (A) = 200 square feet

Price per square foot of Sheetrock (P) = $2.50

Number of Sheetrock panels needed (N) = 10 panels

Installation cost per Sheetrock panel (I) = $5.00
