Question

A floor 3.2m long and 2.8 m wide is to be covered with square shaped tiles of length 10cm. Find the coast of flooring if the coast tiles is Rs 150 per 100 tile.

Answer 1

1344

Explanation:

100cm = 1 m

Convert the dimensions of the floor to cm = Area of a rectangle = length x breadth = 320 x 280 = 89,600m²

Area of a square = length² = 10cm² = 100cm²

Number of tiles that would be needed = area of floor / area of square

89,600cm² / 100cm² = 896

Cost of one tile = rs 150 / 100 = 1.5

Cost of 896 tiles = 1.5 x 896 = 1344
