First, find the area of the kitchen floor in square feet.
Then convert the square feet to square yards. (1 sq.yd = 9 sq.ft.)
Finally, multiply the cost of tiles per square yard ($8.91)by the number of square yards you found for the area of the kitchen floor.
1) Area of floor = (12ft.)(20ft.) =240 sq.ft.
2) Divide this by 9sq.ft per sq.yd.
(240sq.ft)/(9sq.ft/sq.yd) = 26 2/3 sq.yd
3) The cost is (26 2/3 sq.yd))($8.91/sq.yd) = $237.63 (rounded to nearest cent)
So the cost to tile the kitchen floor is $237.63
