a house owner in order to have his house painted requires 25kg of paint.allowing for 20% wastage and assuming that the paint is available in 2kg cans, what would be the cost of paint purchased if one can cost 16?

• the answer will be =256 because 20% of wastage means he needs to buy 25%more paint that 1.25*25=31.25
  which in turns give us 32/2=16 cans of paint box
  16 multiplied by 16 rs will give 256

• ans 240
  Total paint required= 25+(20%of 25)
  =30 kg
  so, no of cans=30/2 (1 can is of 2 kg)
  =15
  total cost=15*16 (cost of 1 can =16)
  =240

  than total required paint is 30kg.
  so total we need 15 can

• he needs 25 kg of paint for his house,
  wastage is 20 % it means 25*.2=5 kgs of paint,
  total he has to order 30 kgs of paint,
  so,total cost he has to pay is =(30/2)*16=240

• 160.
  
  2kg can cost 16
  therefore 1kg will be rs 8.
  now 25 kg will be 200
  20% is wasted so 80% of 200=160.

• let x kg paint perchased from market.
  x-x*20/100=25kg
  x=25*100/80= 125/4
  so cost is 125/4*8/2= 250. ans.
