Question

A bathroom measures 10 by 8 feet.

New tile costs $12 per square foot. How
much will it cost to retile the bathroom?

Answer 1

Explanation:

It will cost $960 to retile the bathroom. 10 x 8 = 80, and 80 x 12 = 960.

Answer 2

$960

Explanation:

We must first determine the total area that has to be retiled before we can determine the cost of retiling the bathroom.

10 x 8 = 80 square feet is the overall area of the bathroom, which is 10 x 8 feet.

Retiling the 80 square foot bathroom will cost 80 x $12, or $960, as the price per square foot is $12.

Consequently, the price to retile the bathroom will be $960.

Hope it helps!
