The north wall of a barn is a rectangle 25 feet high and 60 feet long. There are five windows in the wall, each 8 by 10 feet. If a gallon of paint will cover 275 ft2, how many gallons of paint must the painter buy to paint the wall?

Area to paint  = [25 * 60]  - 5[8 *10]  = 1100 sq ft

 

Gals needed   =   1100/ 275  =   4
