Calculation

Area of a square= side x side

Area of rectangle= length x width
Number of tiles needed=      area of the room/ Area of tile 

Vat= 2.5/100 x price of tile

Length of classroom= 5.4m

Width of classroom= 3.6m
Area of classroom= 5.4 x 3.6= 19.44m 2 

area of classroom in (cm )=area of classroom (m ) x (100)

2 2 2

=19.44 x 10000
=194,400cm 2 

The following square tile dimension was chosen since they were from the same
manufacturers and similar in appearance 
Tile A= 30cm x 30cm
Tile B= 45cm x 45cm
Tile C= 50cm x 50cm
Tile D= 60cm x 60cm

Tile A
Area of tile A= 30 x 30= 900cm 2

Number of tiles needed= 194400/900= 216 tiles

Tile B 
Area of tile B= 45 x 45= 2025cm 2
Number of tiles needed= 194400/2025= 95 tiles

Tile C
Area of tile C= 50 x 50= 2500cm 2

Number of tiles needed= 194400/2500= 77.76 approximately 78 tiles 

Tile D 
Area of tile D= 60 x 60= 3600cm 2

Number of tiles needed= 194400/3600= 54 tiles
