A painter will paint n walls with the same size and shape in a building using a specific brand of paint. The painter's fee can be calculated by the expression nKLh, where n is the number of walls, K is a constant with units of dollars per square foot, L is the length of each wall in feet, and h is the height of each wall in feet.

If the customer asks the painter to use a more expensive brand of paint, which of the factros in the expression would change?

Rayne Macias · Answer 1

K

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor that will change in the expression will be K.

n = number of walls

K = units of $/ft²

L = length of each wall in feet

h = height of each wall in feet

If the customer will request a more expensive brand of paint, the only factor that will change is K, because K holds the price of the paint over how many square feet.
