Each tile is 1 sq ft.

# of sq. ft. = 14 by 10 = 140 sq. ft.
-----
Cost = 1.25*140 = $175.00

Each tile measures 12 inches by 12 inches or 1 foot by 1 foot
Area of each tile = 1 foot^2.
Dimensions of floor = 14 feet by 10 feet. Area = 140 feet^2
Therefore it will take 140 tiles to cover the floor.
140 tiles @ $1.25 = $175.
