a room measures 22 feet by 28 feet. They are covering the floor with square tiles that measure 1 foot on a side and cost $0.89 each. How much will they spend on the tile?
well, how many tiles will it take?
multiply that by the cost of each tile.
To find out how much they will spend on the tile, we need to calculate the area of the room and then multiply it by the cost per tile.
The area of a rectangular room is found by multiplying its length by its width.
Given:
Length of the room = 22 feet
Width of the room = 28 feet
Cost per tile = $0.89
To find the area of the room:
Area = Length * Width
Area = 22 feet * 28 feet
Area = 616 square feet
Now, we need to find out how many tiles we will need to cover the entire floor. Since each tile has an area of 1 square foot, the number of tiles can be calculated by dividing the floor area by the area of one tile.
Number of tiles = Area of room / Area of one tile
Number of tiles = 616 square feet / 1 square foot
Number of tiles = 616 tiles
Finally, to calculate the total cost:
Cost = Number of tiles * Cost per tile
Cost = 616 tiles * $0.89 per tile
Cost = $548.24
Therefore, they will spend $548.24 on the tile.
