Data Insights (DI) Butler 2023-24 [Question #17, Date: Oct-05-2023] [Click here for Details]
In-Style Interiors is considering buying two new paint bases that have become extremely popular as interior décor paints, because they lend themselves well to texturing. Quality Touch costs $13 a gallon, and it requires two coats. Something Irresistible costs $31 per gallon and is guaranteed to create a one-coat cover.
In the table below, identify the cost (to the nearest rounded dollar) of using each paint type to cover a wall measuring 24 feet × 18 feet. Each gallon will complete a single coat of 350 square feet, and paint can be purchased in full gallons only. Select only one option in each column.

Total area to paint: 24*18 = 432 square feet
Each gallon of paint per single coat can cover 350 square feet
Quality: Need two coats of paint
so area to paint would be 2*432 = 864 sq feet. That implies we require 864/350 = 2.5 ~ 3 gallons of quality paint as it is highlighted that paint needs to be bought in full gallons
cost = 3*13= 39$
Something Irresistible: single coat so 432/350= 1.25 ~ 2 gallons so 2*31= 62$
