Answer:

$950.51

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of the room, the total square footage, so we know how many tiles to buy. 15*14=210. 210 tiles to buy, $4.25 each. 210*4.25=892.5. If you're not allowed to use a calculator, you can do (210*4)+(210*0.25). The cost before tax is $892.50. What is 6.5% of 892.5? The answer is 58.0125, however, we can't go past the second decimal point or the hundredths digit when deal with money. Rounding to the nearest hundredth, you get $58.01. Add this to cost before tax, 892.50+58.01=950.51. The total cost is $950.51
950.51 is the correct answer
