Answer:
No, $15 isn't enough to cover the trophy stand.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you looked in Part One, you see the actual stand and its dimensions. By completing that problem, you should've gotten a surface area of 68 square feet.
Now you can solve this problem.
The first step is to find out how many paint cans the students would need. To do this, you would have to take the surface area of the stand and divide by the number of square feet one can actually covers. [tex]\frac{68}{25} = 2.72[/tex]. They would need 2.72 paint cans.
However, you can't buy a fraction of a paint can so they would have to round up. Marco and Elaine would need to buy 3 paint cans.
Each paint can costs $6.79, so 3 cans would cost $20.37.
So, $15 isn't enough to cover the entire trophy stand with paint.
