Answer:

  H.  99 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is proportional to the number of tiles.

Proportion

The total area of the bathroom is 6×9 = 54 tiles. Of these, 12 are shaded. The proportion can be written as ...

  total area / shaded area = total tiles / shaded tiles

  total area / (22 ft²) = 54/12 . . . . . use given numbers

  total area = (22 ft²)×(54/12) = 99 ft² . . . . . multiply by 22 ft²

The total floor area of the bathroom is 99 square feet.
