Find the area of the parallelogram.
A. 16 m^2
B. 36 m^2
C. 13 m^2
D. 81 m^2

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.
