Question

John wants to put tiles in his kitchen. The room is rectangular and measures 20 ft. by 10 ft. If tiles cost $2.50 per square feet, how much will it cost John to tile his kitchen?

Answer 1

First we need to find out the area of the rectangular kitchen room.
Length of room is 20 ft and width is 10 ft.

So, area of rectangle = 20 x 10 = 200 ft²

The tiles costs $2.50 per square feet. Since the total area is 200 square feet, the total cost will be:

Total cost = Cost of tile per square feet x Total area
Total cost = 2.5 x 200
Total cost = $500

Thus, it will cost John $500 to tile his kitchen
