Explanation:
To find the number of tiles needed, you'll want to divide the total area of the seating area by the area of each tile.
Let's say the seating area has an area of \(A\) square feet. The formula to calculate the number of tiles (\(N\)) would be:
\[N = \frac{A}{\text{Area of one tile}}\]
Given that each tile has an area of 4 ft², you can substitute this value into the formula to find the number of tiles needed.
