    Top and bottom

    find area of each plank top and m ultiply by 2 then by number of planks

    8*3*2*12 (dozen=12)

    576

    he needs to varnish 576 ft^2

    how many 125's are at least 576 (round up since he can't buy fractios of a pint probably)

    125x>576

    dividee both sides by 125

    x>4.608

    x=5

    5 times 3.5=17.5

    a. 576 ft^2

    b. $17.5
