The cost of tiles per square meter is an illustration of unit rates. If the area of the tiles is 17m^2, the cost of tiles per square metre is R5.00 per square metre.

Given that:

[tex]Cost = R85.00[/tex]

The unit cost (i.e. cost of tiles per square metre) is calculated as:

[tex]Unit =\frac{Cost}{Area}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]Cost = R85.00[/tex]

[tex]Area \to[/tex] Area of the tiles

The dimension of a tile is not given. So, I will use an assumed value.

Assume the tile has an area of 17m^2.

So, the unit cost is:

[tex]Unit = \frac{85.00}{17}[/tex]

[tex]Unit = 5[/tex]

Hence, if the area of the tiles is 17m^2, the cost of tiles per square metre is R5.00 per square metre.
