To determine how much paint Jara and Veronica need, first calculate the area of the parallelogram-shaped banner. If the entire banner's area is not given, you'll need that information to proceed. Let's assume they have this data. Once you have the area of the parallelogram (let's denote it as A) in square feet, subtract the area of the mascot photo (6 square feet) to get the area to be painted: A - 6. Next, given that one 16-ounce bottle of primer covers 24 square feet, you would calculate how many bottles are necessary by dividing the area to be painted by the coverage of one bottle. So, if the area to paint is (A - 6), then the number of bottles needed is (A - 6) / 24. Round up to the nearest whole number because you can't buy a fraction of a paint bottle. Happy painting! 🖌️🏈
