The area of the floor is 17*27 = 459 square feet.

Since each tile is 1 square foot (1ft * 1ft = 1 square ft), this means that you'll need 459 tiles total.

At $0.83 a piece, the total bill comes to 0.83*459 = 380.97

So they will spend $380.97 on tile.

Note: this is excluding taxes or other surcharges.
