Question 43176: Each of six decorators has to paint a room (walls only) and put a wallpaper border around the room at the ceiling. One gallon of paint covers 400 sq ft, and one roll of border contains five yards. Each decorator has one gallon of paint and three rolls of border. A ceiling height is 8' for each room.
The list gives the name of each decorator and the size of the room.
Mark 9 ft x 12 ft
Maria 10 ft x 12 ft
David 12 ft x 12 ft
Rachelle 12 ft x 13 ft
Mitzi 14 ft x 17 ft
Max 13 ft x 15 ft
List the names of the decorators who will have either enough paint or enough border or both.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! I am guessing that 9 x 12 feet tell me the measurement of the wall and that there are four walls?
Paint: 400 sq ft
Wall paper: 3 rolls of 5 yards (60 ft) = 180 ft
Mark 9 ft x 12 ft
Area = 108 * 4 = 432 sq ft
Perimeter = 4*12 = 48 ft
Mark has enough wall paper.
Maria 10 ft x 12 ft
Area = 120 * 4 = 480 sq ft
Perimeter = 4*12 = 48 ft
Maria has enough wall paper.
David 12 ft x 12 ft
Area = 144 * 4 = 576 sq ft
Perimeter = 4*12 = 48 ft
David has enough wall paper.
Obviously, they all do not have enough paint ....
Also, they all have enough wall paper ....
