To calculate the number of tiles in the border section, we first need to find the total number of tiles in the floor and the center section separately.

The total number of tiles in the floor can be found by multiplying the length and width of the floor. In this case, the floor is 16 tiles long and 9 tiles wide, so the total number of tiles in the floor is 16 x 9 = 144 tiles.

Next, we need to find the total number of tiles in the center section. The center section is 12 tiles long and 5 tiles wide, so the total number of tiles in the center section is 12 x 5 = 60 tiles.

Finally, to find the number of tiles in the border section, we subtract the number of tiles in the center section from the total number of tiles in the floor: 144 - 60 = 84 tiles.

Therefore, there are 84 tiles in the border section.
