What is the cost of painting the living room?

The first step is to determine the area of the walls that do not have doors.

Area of a wall = length x width

3 x (2.6 x 3.5) = 27.30 m²

Dimensions of the wall with the door : (2.6m - 2.2m) x (3.5 - 0.8) = 0.4m x 2.7m

Area of the wall with the door : 0.4m x 2.7m = 1.08 m²

Total area of the walls: 27.30 m² +  1.08 m² = 28.38 m²

Number of paint tins needed for the walls : 28.38 / 8 = 3.55 = 4 tins

Cost of the paint tins : (11 x 3) + (0.5 x 11) = £38.50
