Question

it cost $54.50 to put 24,000 in your bathroom how much would you expect it to cost if you wanted 36 tiles

Answer 1

Given, the cost of 24 tiles $54.50

Step 1: Calculate how much a tile cost. To obtain the cost per tile

`1\text{ tile cost= \$}(54.50)/(24)`

Step 2: Calculate the cost to put 36 tiles (i.e the cost per tile multiply by 36)

`\begin{gathered} =(54.50)/(24)*36 \\ =54.50*1.5 \\ =\text{ \$81.75} \end{gathered}`

Hence, it will cost $81.75 to put 36 tiles
