Given:
rectangular floor
length = 12 feet 
width = 8 feet

Area = 12 ft * 8 ft = 96 ft²

Cost of $2.50 per square foot

96 ft² * $2.50 = $240

The total cost of the materials for tiling the kitchen floor is $240.

we know that

The area of the floor of the kitchen is equal to the area of a rectangle

so

Step 1

Find the area of the kitchen

we have

\(length = 12 feet

width = 8 feet\)

\(A=12*8\\ A=96 ft^{2}\)

Step 2

Find the cost

we know that

the cost is $@@MATH_TOKEN_2@@ per square foot

so

by proportion

therefore

the answer is

the total cost of the materials for tiling the kitchen floor is $\(240\)
