To find the total cost of the paint, we first need to find the volume of the paint she purchased. We assume that the bucket is a cylinder so the volume of a cylinder is calculated by the expression:

Volume = πr²h
Volume = 3.14 (9 in)²(9.5 in)
Volume = 2416.23 in³

Therefore, the cost would be,

Cost = $0.09/in³ x 2416.23 in³ = $217.5
