John and Maria also want to put new tile in their living room. The floor measures 20 feet long by 20 feet wide. The tiles they want to purchase cost $2.25 each, and each tile covers exactly 1 square
foot of floor space. How much will they need to spend on tile? (Section 10.8) (1 point)

$900

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of the floor with the equation A = lw

A = lw

A = (20)(20)

A = 400 ft²

Since each tile covers 1 sq ft and the floor's area is 400 sq ft, they will need 400 tiles.

To calculate the total cost, multiply 400 by 2.25

400(2.25) = 900

= $900
