a room that needs to be tiled is 12 1/2 feet wide by 14 feet long. tiles that mesure 2x2 are $0.79 per tile. Tiles that measure 3x3 are 1.25 per tile. which size tile should be used for this project to save the most money? How many tiles would be needed? How much would you spend on them? HELP PLEASE!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the room is 12.5(14) = 175 ft²

2x2 tiles are 4 ft²

175 /4 = 43.75 tiles so 44 will be needed

44($0.79) = $34.76

3x3 tiles are 9ft²

175/9 = 19.4444... so 20 will be needed

20($1.25) = $25.00

the larger tiles will cost $9.24 less than the smaller tiles.

Obviously some of the tiles will need to be cut to fit as the length and width of the room are not always a uniform number of tiles for either side.
