Situational Problem Flooring Costs

Todd wants to replace the floors in two rooms of his house as cheaply as possible.
First, he draws a scale model of the rooms and brings it to Home Hardware. Each
square on Todds drawing is 0.5m

Room A
Room B

Here are the choices of flooring at Home Hardware:

Material Cost Coverage of pack

Ceramic Tile $40.00/pack 2 m2
Laminate $65.00/pack 3.5 m2
Solid Wood $42.00/pack 2 m2
Todd chooses the cheapest flooring per m2 from the list above.

At Home Hardware, Todd is advised that he should buy 10% more flooring than
he needs so that he has extra in case of mistakes. Todd also has to pay for
installation of his floors. A carpenter will charge Todd a flat rate of $100 plus $15
for each square metre installed.
