You have a rectangular floor. How do we find how many tiles are on this floor? Let's find the area.
So we have 40 tiles.
If we have $250 to spend for the entire job, then we have
Then we have $6.25 to spend per floor.
----------------------------
Check: 40 * 6.25 = 250
Hope this helps!

The area of the floor is (5 ft)(8 ft) = 40 sq ft.
Because Sam does not want to spend more than $250, we set up an inequality,
(\frac{$x}{ft^2}) \le $250)
Thus, the largest amount per square foot Sam can spend is $6.25 per sq ft.
