How many tiles does she need ?
1 square meter = 10,000 cm² 12 square meters = 120,000 cm² Each tile = (20 cm x 20 cm) = 400 cm² Tiles needed = 120,000 / 400 = 300 tiles
How many tiles can she buy ?
1,000 / 34.99 = 28 boxes, with 20.28 left over . . . not enough for another box. 28 boxes of 10 tiles per box = 280 tiles
Halima doesn't have enough money to buy enough tiles to cover the wall. She can only buy 280 tiles, but it would take 300 to cover the wall.
She can cover 280/300 = 93 and 1/3 percent of the wall, leaving 6 and 2/3 percent with the old ugly plaster showing. Maybe she could leave the bare part down at the bottom, and then hide it with a table up against the wall.
im pretty sure she can only cover 380 of it
To determine if she can buy enough packs, calculate how many items she needs, the number of items in each pack, and compare the total needed with what she can afford. If needing 300 tiles and receiving only 280 from 28 packs, she won't have enough. Therefore, she should consider buying more packs or finding a way to cover the shortfall.
