To calculate the total cost, we first need to determine how many tiles need to be bought and how many will be added for breakages.

Total number of tiles needed = 20 tiles
Number of tiles to be added for breakages = 10% of 20 tiles = 0.1 * 20 = 2 tiles

Total number of tiles to be bought = 20 + 2 = 22 tiles

Cost of 1 box of 6 tiles = R234
Cost of 1 tile = R234 / 6 = R39

Total cost of buying 22 tiles = 22 * R39 = R858

Therefore, R858 will be spent on buying 22 tiles with 10% added for breakages.

Step 1: Calculate the number of tiles needed with 10% for breakages.

20 tiles + 10% breakage = 22 tiles

Step 2: Determine the number of boxes needed.

22 tiles ÷ 6 tiles/box = 3.666 boxes

Since you can't buy a fraction of a box, round up to 4 boxes.

Step 3: Calculate the cost of the tiles.

4 boxes x R234/box = R936

Therefore, the total amount spent on the tiles will be R936.
