Question

The dimensions of Mr. Mallory’s rectangular sun room is 13.6feet by 12.75 feet. He will cover the floor with tile. One box of tiles covers 10 square feet and costs $15.75 per box. How much will the floor project cost Mr. Mallory?

Answer 1

Since there is no indication of the dimensions of a tile, we'll just do this the easy way.

(13.6 * 12.75)/10 * 15.75 = $273.11
floor_area/box_area = #boxes * price/box = cost
