In order to know what is the reasonable amount of tile for
Mandana to order, you have to divide the choices with the area of the floor and
deduct with 1 and multiply by 100. You have to assess if the answer you will
get will fall between 15% and 20% which is the goal of Mandana.
<span>a.
</span>131/116.9 = (1.1206 – 1) x 100 = 12.06%, this
does not fall between 15% and 20%
<span>b.
</span>138/116.9 = (1.1805 – 1) x 100 = 18.05%, this
fall between 15% and 20%
<span>c.
</span>133/116.9 = (1.1377 – 1) x 100 = 13.77%, this
does not fall between 15% and 20%
<span>d.
</span>141/116.9 = (1.2062 – 1) x 100 = 20.62%, this
