Answer 2

Mr. Tran needs 96 tiles to cover his kitchen floor.

He already has 60 tiles.

So he needs 96 - 60 = 36 tiles

Tiles come in packages of 4.

So to purchase 36 tiles, he needs to purchase

$\frac{36}{4}=9$

Hence Mr Tran needs to purchase 9 boxes of 4 tiles each.

The total number of packages Mr. Tran will need to buy to finish covering his kitchen floor are 9.
