A floor is 4.5 m long and 3.6 m wide. A 6 cm square tile costs Rs. 23.25. What will be the cost to cover the floor with these tiles
Solution:
Length of the floor = 4.5 m
Converting 4.5 m into cm = 4.5 × 100 = 450 cm
Width of the floor = 3.6m
Converting 3.6 m into cm = 3.6 × 100 = 360 cm
Area of the floor = (450 × 360) = 162000 cm. Sq.
Side of one square tile = 6 cm
Area of one square tile = 36 sq. cm.
Number of tiles required to cover the floor = Area of floor ÷ Area of one tile
= 162000 ÷ 36
=4500
It is given that the cost of one tile = ₹ 23.25
Cost of 4500 tiles = ₹ 23.25 × 4500 = ₹ 104625
