# Given Values:
Wall Height: 8 ft
Total Wall Width: 50 ft
Number of Coats: 2
Coverage: 350 sq ft/gal
Price per Gallon: 45 $
# Formula:
Paint Needed = ceil((h * w * coats) / coverage)
Paint Needed = ceil((h * w * coats) / coverage)
# Substitution:
Paint Needed = ceil((8 * 50 * 2) / 350)
Paint Needed = ceil((8 * 50 * 2) / 350)
Final Answer: 3 gallons
