your management company was hired to take over the maintenance of the room. last year the old floor tiles were replaced with spanish portico special ceramic tiles. the tiles cost $13.50 per square foot. the owner paid $6534 for the tiles.

Determine the area of the room!!

You just divide the total money paid by 13.50 which is the amount paid per ft^2 and that will be your area.

Thx Owen

To determine the area of the room, we need to divide the total cost of the tiles by the cost per square foot. By doing this, we can find how many square feet of tiles were purchased.

Total cost of tiles = $6534
Cost per square foot = $13.50

Area of the room = Total cost of tiles / Cost per square foot

Area of the room = $6534 / $13.50

Area of the room ≈ 484 square feet

Therefore, the area of the room is approximately 484 square feet.
