We will begin by calculating the Area of the room then the amount Hayley will spend on the tiles, after which we will sum the amount spent on the tiles and the 6.5% tax

The total amount will be $950.5125

Given data

Length of room  = 15ft

Width of room = 14ft

Let us find the area of the room

Area = Length*Width

Area = 15*14

Area = 210 square feet

Hence she will spend = 210*4.25

=$892.5

She will need to purchase tile worth $892.5

Let us factor in the tax

6.5%

Total cost  = 6.5/100*892.5 + 892.5

Total cost  =0.065*892.5 + 892.5

Total cost  =58.0125 + 892.5

Total cost  =$950.5125
