If a family room measures 23ft. by 26ft, than area is: A=23ft%2A26ft=598ft%5E2
if the family is covering it with tile that measures 1ft on a side, than area is: At=1ft%2A1ft=1ft%5E2
number-of-tiles=598ft%5E2%2F1ft%5E2=598
so, a family needs 598 tiles

if tile cost 0.84 cents each, they will spend on tile 598%2A0.84=502.32
