Question 779854: a rectangular parking lot is 253.5 feet long and 174.5 feet wide. A 55- gallon drum of asphalt sealer covers 4,000 square feet and costs $97.50. Find the cost to seal the parking lot. (sealer can only be purchased in full drums)
Answer by wilft1(217)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! first, find the area, 253.5 x 174.5 = 44,235.75 sq ft
divide that by 4000 to get 11.0589
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
