Solution

First, we need to determine how many carpet squares are needed to cover the floor.

The area of the floor is 8 meters * 10 meters = 80 square meters.

Each carpet square covers an area of 2 meters * 2 meters = 4 square meters.

So, the number of carpet squares needed is 80 square meters / 4 square meters = 20 squares.

Each carpet square costs 12,sothetotalcostforthecarpetsquaresis20squares12, so the total cost for the carpet squares is 20 squares * 12/square = $240.

So, the answer is $240.
