Assume that the tiles can be cut remember that teh formula for a trapezoid is (base1+base2) times (1/2 height) height=24 base1=48 base2=60 subsitute (48+60) times (1/2 24) 108 times 12=1296 now wee find out how many tiles 16 is 1 tile find how many 16's in 1296 1296/16=81 ans: 81 tiles
If the price after the discount is subtracted is $96.25 then this is what you do
u times 0.40 x 96.25 which is 38.5 so since you are wanting to know what the price was before the discount you would add 38.5 to 96.25 and when you do that your answer is 134.75
but if you are just trying to get the discount from 96.25 you subtract 38.5 from 96.25
