Interior wall paint covers 365 sf per gallon. The net painted wall area is 14,235 sf and one coat is required. How many gallons should be estimated before tint overage?
Correct Answer
D) 39 gallons
One-coat quantity = 14,235 sf ÷ 365 sf/gallon = exactly 39 gallons. No fractional gallon remains to round up. Additional coats, tint overage or field losses are outside the stated estimate.
