Answer:575 and 1 extra tile

Step-by-step explanation:if the total tiles is 5,176 which will be used in 9 floors .We will divide the total tiles by the floors .Therefore we will get 5176 /9 =575.111

Therefore each floor will have 575 tiles

To get the remaining tiles

575*9 = 5175 which gives us a remainder of 1 tile when you subtract the total 5176 -5175 =1
