Answer:

750 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

.Given :

Charge per ft² = 50¢ = $0.5

Total cost = ((charge per ft² * number of ft²) + cost of paint)

Given that :

Paint cost = $100

Total cost = $475

Number of ft² = x

Plugging values into the equation :

475 = (( 0.5 * x) + 100)

475 = 0.5x + 100

475 - 100 = 0.5x

375 = 0.5x

x = 375 / 0.5

x = 750 ft²
