Answer to problem of the week January 17th
The four boys must raise $4,000 for them to each have $1,000 at the end of the summer. In addition, they must cover their expenses at $152.00 a month for four months. That comes out to $608. Alltogether, they must make $4,608 to reach their goal. If you divide that amount by $256.00 (the amount made from one house) you will get 18 which is the number of houses they boys must paint to reach their goal.

My answer is 176 tiles.
I found my answer is I added 4ft to 10 ft to find the length and added 3 ft to 12 ft to find the width. Then I multiplied 14 ft and 15 ft together and got 210 ft . Then I minus 16 ft and 18 ft ( the area for both closets) and got the answer 176.
