Solution
Given, length of room = 4.5 m, width of room = 4 m and size of tiles = 15 cm × 10 cm
∵ Area of room = l × b
= 4.5 × 4
= 18 m2
= 18 × (100)2 cm2 ...[∵ 1 m = 100 cm]
= 180000 cm2
∴ Area of 1 tile = 15 × 10 = 150 cm2
So, number of tiles = `"Area of room"/"Area of 1 tile" = 180000/150` = 1200
∴ Cost of covering the floor with tiles = ₹ 4.50 × 1200 = ₹ 5400
