A painter will paint n walls with the same size and shape in a building using a specific brand of paint. The painter’s fee can be calculated by the expression nKAh, where n is the number of walls, K is a constant with units of dollars per square foot, A is the length of each wall in feet, and h is the height of each wall in feet. If the customer asks the painter to use a more expensive brand of paint, which of the factors in the expression would change?

• h

• l

• K

• n
