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
