[Math Revolution GMAT math practice question]

A rectangular wall has dimensions of \(800\) by \(300\). If the wall is tiled using tiles measuring \(12 x 25\) of the same units, how many tiles are used?

\(A. 360\)
\(B. 400\)
\(C. 500\)
\(D. 600\)
\(E. 800\)

IMHO \(x = *\) ( In this case , if I am not wrong)

Number of tiles required is \(\frac{800*300}{12*25} = 800\), Thus, Answer must be (E) 800

=>

Now, \(\frac{800}{25} = 32\) and \(\frac{300}{12} = 25.\) Thus, the number of tiles required is \(32 * 25 = 800\).

Therefore, the answer is E.
Answer: E
