Which type of vinyl flooring is the more economical choice MATH PROBLEM?

Question

The Johnson's are finishing their basement laundry room and intend to install a vinyl floor. The dimensions of the room are 6m by 4m. Self-adhesive vinyl tiles cost $1.47 per (12” by 12”) tile. Vinyl flooring is cut from a roll and is $11.99 per square yard. For the roll-cut vinyl flooring, a $13.99 can of floor adhesive is required. Each can cover approximately 38 square yards. Which type of vinyl flooring is the more economical choice?

Answer 1

LOL - yards, feet and meters

4x6 = 19.68x13.12 = 258 sq. ft.

12X12 tiles = 258 x 1.47 = $379.26

roll cut = 258 / 9 x 11.99 = $343.71

adhesive = 1 can = 342 sf = $13.99

total = $357.70

roll cut is cheaper...
