To calculate the Paint Needed (PN):
\[ PN = \frac{A}{C} \]
Where:
Paint usage refers to the volume of paint required to cover a given surface area. It is an important consideration for any painting project as it helps in budgeting and purchasing the correct amount of paint. Paint coverage, which is usually indicated on the paint can, is the area that can be covered by one gallon of paint. Understanding the paint coverage and the total area to be painted allows for an accurate calculation of the paint needed.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Use the paint usage formula:
\[ PN = \frac{A}{C} = \frac{1000}{250} = 4 \]
The Paint Needed is 4 gallons.
