Question

Micah decides to buy square tiles to cover his kitchen floor. Each square measures 12” by 12” and costs $4.15. How much will it cost to tile a 11’ x 14’ floor?

Answer 1

$639.10

Explanation:

A 12" by 12" tile has area 1 ft^2.

Thus, we need only determine how many square feet of tile are needed and then multiply this quantity by $4.15/tile.

The floor area is 11' by 14,' which comes out to 154 ft^2.

Multiplying this area by $4.15/tile, we get:

Cost = ($4.15/tile)(154 ft^2) = $639.10
