Question 1160461: A rectangular basement room measures 18 by 20 feet. Vinyl floor tiles that are 1 ft2 cost $1.13 each. How much will the tile cost to cover the floor? (Assume no waste. Round your answer to two decimal places.)

floor area = 18*20 = 360 square feet
1 square foot costs $1.13, which we can represent with this equation
1 sq ft = 1.13 dollars
Multiply both sides by 360 to change the "1 sq ft" into "360 sq ft"
1 sq ft = 1.13 dollars
360*1 sq ft = 360*1.13 dollars
360 sq ft = 406.80 dollars
Answer: 406.80 dollars
