Answer: $455

Explanation:

Security deposit with the landlord = $875

Calculation of painting cost

Given

Painting charges = $5.25

Size = 8ft x 10ft = 80 Sq. ft

Total painting charges = 80 Sq. ft x $5.25

=$420

Calculation of security deposit to be returned

= Total security deposit - painting charges

=875-420

=$455

So from the above calculations it is clear that $455 would be returned to me by the landlord.
