We know that it costs $68 for 16 square feet of flooring. To find out how much it costs for 12, we first have to find out how much it costs for 1 square foot. To find that, we would do $68 divided by 16, which is 4.25. That means 1 square foot costs $4.25. Then, we would multiply $4.25 by 12 to find how much 12 square feet costs. $4.25 times 12 is 51.
So, it would cost $51 to have 12 square feet of flooring.
