Question

A property owner paid $960 for the tiles to cover a 800 sq. ft yard. Then he decided to tile an additional 260 sq. ft. How much will be paid for the additional tiles?

Answer 1

$312 will be paid for the addditional tile

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the property owner paid $960 for tiles to cover a 800 sq. ft yard

Since he decided to tile an additional 260 sq. ft, to know how much will be paid for the additional tiles, we need to know how much he paid for each of the last set of tiles.

The amount is

960/800 = 1.2

He paid $1.2 per tile.

For 260 sq. ft, he will pay:

$1.2 * 260

= $312
