Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter = 66 feet
ratio of length to width = 6/5
2(6+5) =22 parts
..
Length = 6/22*66= 18
Width = 5/22*66 = 15
..
Area = 18*15 = 270 sq. feet
Area of tile = 1 sq.ft
...
number of tiles = 270 tiles
..
1 tile costs 1.98
270 tiles cost 1.98 * 270
= $ 534.60
