Question 7994: My parents and I have tried to come up with an answer to this word problem, but we have all decided that there is not enough information to answer it. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this:
"The Penzolas are planning to use square tiles to tile a kitchen floor that is 18 feet long and 15 feet wide. Each tile covers one square foot. A carton of tiles costs $18. How much will it cost to cover the entire kitchen floor?"
I think it is necessary to know how many tiles come in one carton, but I am not sure.
Thanks for your help!

You are correct. This problem cannot be solved without knowing the number of tiles in a carton.
