A rectangular community swimming pool is 31 2/3 meters long and 7 1/5 meters wide. The area around the swimming pool is covered with tiles. The area covered with tiles is 25% of the total area covered by the swimming pool. The total cost of the tiling is $712.50. What is the cost of the tiling per square meter?

$12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find the area: 31 2/3 * 7 1/5 = 95/3 * 36/5 = 3,420/15 = 228 square meters. Then, we find the part that the tiles cover: 228 * 0.25 = 57 square meters. Now, we find the cost of the tiling per square meter by dividing the total cost by the total amount of tiling: $712.50 / 57 = $12.50. $12.50 will be your answer.
