Taylor wants to paint his rectangular deck that 42 feet long and 28 feet wide. A gallon of paint covers about 350 square feet. How many gallons of paint will Taylor need to cover the entire deck?

Let L be the length of the deck = 42 feet

Let W be the width of the deck = 28 feet

A = LxW

A = 42 feet x 28 feet

A = 1176 square feet

Remaining area to be painted = 1176 square feet - 350 square feet

Remaining area to be painted = 826 square feet
