You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You have a rectangular floor. How do we find how many tiles are on this floor? Let's find the area.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2A8+=+40\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we have 40 tiles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If we have $250 to spend for the entire job, then we have $\"250%2F40+=+6%2A+expr%281%2F4%29+=+6.25\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then we have $6.25 to spend per floor.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Check: 40 * 6.25 = 250\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps! \n" ); document.write( "
