Ok so you do 28*12 which is 336. 336-250=86. If you divide or whatever you'll get a remainder and you can't buy just one gallon of paint and only cover 60% of the wall, so you need 2 gallons to cover the wall and then you have leftovers:) oh gosh  my math teacher's logic is rubbing off on me.....0_0
