Question

Tile is to be placed in an entryway, as shown below.

At $6.25 per square foot, how much does it cost to tile the entryway?

Answer 1

Calculate the area by using 2 rectangles:

13 x 5 = 65 square feet

5 x 4 = 20 square feet

Total area = 65 + 20 = 80 square feet.

Multiply price per square foot by total area:

6.25 x 80 = 500

Cost = $500
