Abigail is putting tiles in a table top. She needs 48 tiles for each of the 8 rows. Each of the rows will have 6 white tiles. The rest of the tiles will be purple. How many purple tiles will she need?
Answer:
336 purple tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of tiles for each row be = 48 tiles
The number of rows = 8 rows
number of white tiles per row = 6 tiles
total number of white tiles = \(8 * 6\)
= 48 tiles
the total number of tiles = \(48* 8 = 384\)
number of purple tiles = \(384 - 48\\= 336 tiles\)
