The label of the varnish you bought says that an average quart covers 100 sq ft.
a. Write an equation that relates the area you will varnish to the number of quarts of varnish that you need.
A = 100(# of quarts)
b. Write another equation that relates the number of quarts of varnish that you need to the area you will varnish.
# of quarts = A/100
c. How much varnish will you need for an area of 8 ft by 60 ft or 480 sq ft?
# of quarts = [480]/100 = 4.8 quarts.
