You can put this solution on YOUR website!
first, find the area, 253.5 x 174.5 = 44,235.75 sq ft
\n" ); document.write( "divide that by 4000 to get 11.0589
\n" ); document.write( "you cant order a partial drum, so we are going to have to round up, so we are going to need 12 drums, and 12 times 97.50 = $1170
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
