There is not enough information in this question to correctly answer it, however, here is the formula you will need to find the amount needed to paint the walls only. If you have to paint the ceiling and/or the floor add the square footage to your Area

(15 + 12 x 2) x y = Area Where y equals the height of the room.

Check the label of your paint and determine the area in square feet of coverage. (ie. 400 sq.ft./gal) This is Coverage

Divide your Area by Coverage to calculate the amount of paint needed
