A rectangular parking lot is 253.5 feet long and 176.5 feet wide. a 55-gallon drum of asphalt sealer covers
4,000 square feet and costs $99.50. find the cost to seal the parking lot. (sealer can only be purchased in full
drums.)

The area of the parking lot is 253.5(176.5) which equals 44,472.75. You then divide 44,472.75 by 4000 to see how many gallons you need to cover the parking lot. The answer to that was about 11.2 and since you can only purchase full drums you have to round it up to 12 to have enough. Finally, you multiply 12 by 99.50 and get your answer.
