It will be  2.7%2F0.15 = 18  square tiles in the long dimension and  2.1%2F0.15 = 14  square tiles in the wide dimension,  which is  18*14 = 252  square tiles in total.

It costs  252*25 dollars = 6300 dollars.

Answer.  $6,300.

Hi there,
First of all convert the floor
dimensions into centimetres:
2.7m = 270 cm
2.1m = 210 cm
If the tiles are 15cm on a side
then,
270/15 = 18 tiles
210/15 = 14 tiles
18 x 14 = 252 tiles in total
252 tiles @ $25 = $6,300
Hope this helps:-)
