Answer:

$234.00

Explanation:

1. Find the area of the length of the classroom (L x W), to get 600ft.

2. Convert the area of 1 tile into feet. (Inches divided by 12)=3 Length & 2 Width, and get the area for 1 tile (L x W)=6

3.Divide size of classroom(Area), by the size of 1 tile (Area)=100, to get how many tiles they need to do the whole classroom.

4. We know that the cost for 1 tile $2.34, so do 2.34 times the amount of tiles they need (100), to get $234.00.
