Question

Mandana is ordering new tile for her kitchen floor. The area of the floor is 111.8 square feet, and she wants to order between 15% and 20% extra of the materials. Which of the following is a reasonable amount of tile for Mandana to order?

Answer 1

132 tiles

Explanation:

We would just take the average of 15% and 20% which would be 17.5% and we could round up to 18% so 18% of 111.8 is 20.124 and if you add them together you would get 131.9 and that rounds up to 132 tiles.
