To cover 100 sq.ft, how many gallons of paint will be required?

1/5 gallon cover 100 sq.ft, cost of paint to paint 100 sq.ft is 1/5 x $6.25 = $1.25

Paint can paint (500 x 1.25) = 625 sq.ft in one day

$60/625= $0.096 labor per sq.ft
100 sq.ft x $ 0.096 = $9.6 labor for 100sq.ft

$1.25+$9.6 = $ 10.85 is my answer
But it is not match any of the choices.

Your work is CORRECT.

I am also getting $10.85 as cost for painting 100 sq.ft.
 
Good try BBB, but the problem is flawed as it does not have a choice even close to the correct answer. At least your post did put a smile on my face.
