Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost to paint 864.5 square feet of wall is $2,048.87.
It is given that the cost to paint one square foot of wall is $2.37.
We are asked to find the total cost to paint 864.5 square feet of wall.
If we have a number that has a decimal point then we have two parts.
The whole number part and the fractional part.
After the decimal point, we will count the place value as tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and so on.
You can also see the given figure below.
We know that,
One square foot = $2.37.
Remember that Feet is the plural form of the foot.
We can write,
864.5 square feet = 864.5 x one square foot
Because in 864.5 square feet we have 864.5 one square foot.
And since one square foot cost $2.37.
864.5 square feet will cost 864.5 x 2.37 dollars.
Now,
864.5 x 2.37 = $2048.865.
Rounding to the nearest hundredth.
6 is in the hundredth place so we will round 86 to 87 since the number in the thousandth place is greater than 4.
Thus the total cost to paint a wall of 864.5 square feet is $2,048.87.
