I want to pave my patio, which has dimensions of 6m by 8m. I'm going to pave it with stones that have dimensions of 50cm by 50cm. Each tile costs £1.50. How much will paving my patio cost me?
My patio has an area of 68 m , so 48m2.
Each tile has an area of 0.50.5 m, so 0.25m2.
To find the number of tiles we need, we divide the area of the patio by the area of one tile:
48/0.25 = 192 tiles
Each tile costs £1.50, so the overall cost in pounds is:
192*1.50 = £288.00
