Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 inches in a foot.
Therefore in 8 feet there are 96 inches
Therefore the square floor is 96 * 96.
Therefore the area of the square floor is 9216 inches squared.
Each tile is 8 inches by 8 inches meaning it has an area of 64 inches squared.
9216 / 64 = 144.
Therefore 144 tiles are needed to tile the floor
Since each tile is 50 cents, 144 * 0.5 = 72
Therefore it costs 72 dollars to tile the floor.
