Answer:

  £592 for 16 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

The classroom floor area is ...

  A = LW = (8.8 m)(2.2 m) = 19.36 m²

The cupboard floor area is ...

  A = (2.3 m)(2.1 m) = 4.83 m²

Then the total area to be covered is ...

  19.36 m² +4.83 m² = 24.19 m²

At 1.6 m² per box, the number of boxes required is ...

  (24.19 m²)/(1.6 m²/box) = 15.12 boxes

If we assume we can only purchase whole boxes, we need to purchase 16 boxes to cover the floor. The cost will be ...

  (16 boxes)(£37/box) = £592 . . . . cost of laminate to replace the floor
