The city convention center has hired james to paint a mural of one of the outside walls. the wall is 30 feet long and 15 feet tall. he is being paid $1350 for the project. how much is james being paid per square foot of the mural?

James is paid $3 per square foot

Explanation:

We are given that the wall has a rectangular shape with dimensions 30 feet and 15 feet

The area of the rectangle is the product of its length and width

This means that:

Area of wall to be painted = 30 × 15 = 450 ft²

Now, we know that James will be paid $1350 for the whole project

This means that he will be paid $1350 for painting 450 ft²

To know how much is being paid for one square foot, we will simply divide the total payment by the area to be painted

This means that:

James is paid dollars per square foot
