20 tiles to be bought with 10% of tiles to be added for breakages tiles cost R234 for a box of 6 tiles how much will be spent?

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.
