of $550.00 plus $14.50 per tile. amanda has a 10% discount coupon at kitchenplus.
if amanda purchases x tiles, the following expression can be used to model the average cost per tile at kitchen plus.
how many tiles does amanda have to order for the average cost per tile to be equal at both tileall and kitchen plus?

60 tiles.

⇒ 1.95x = 117

⇒ x = 60 tiles. (Answer)
