Isabella's house has 3 bedrooms. Each bedroom is 12 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 8 feet high. Isabella must paint the walls of all the bedrooms. Doorways and windows, which will not be painted, occupy 60 square feet in each bedroom. How many square feet of walls must be painted?

(A) 678
(B) 768
(C) 786
(D) 867
(E) 876

Each bedroom is in the shape of a rectangular box and the surface area of a box is 2LW + 2LH + 2WH. However, since Isabella is not going to paint the floor and ceiling which eliminates the term 2LW, the surface she will be painting is 2LH + 2WH for each room, less the area of doorways and windows. Therefore, the total area she is going to going to paint is:
(2 x 12 x 8 + 2 x 10 x 8 - 60) x 3

(192 + 160 - 60) x 3

292 x 3

876 square feet

Answer: E
