Problema Solution
An artist agrees to paint a landscape painting at $0.30 per square inch. If the painting is 13 inches by 17 inches, how much should the artist charge?
Answer provided by our tutors
we will assume the painting is rectangular with dimensions 13 in and 17 in
first lest find the area of the painting:
A = 13*17
A = 221 in^2
the cost of 1 in^2 is $0.30 thus the cost of 221 in^2 will be 221*0.30 = $66.30
the artist should charge $66.30.
