How many 12 x 12 tile in 228 sq ft?

A 12x12 tile is 1 sq ft. So there are 228 12x12 tiles in 228 sq ft.

IE vinyl tiles will butt up to each other with no gap, using exactly 228 tiles, but ceramic will have anywhere from 1/8" to 3/8" grouted gap and depending on the shape could be anywhere from 228 (with several being trimmed) in a square, to 222 or less if all in a straight line.

How many 18 x 18 tiles equal 140 sq feet?

Simple. 18"x18" = 324 inch². One Square foot (12"x12") is 144 inch². So, take your 140 ft² and multiple it by 144 that converts your square foot requirement to square inch requirement. 140x144 = 20,160 inch². Divide 20,160 (your inch² area) by 324 (the area each tile covers) and you get 62.22 tiles. Now, you need to factor in waste, that is the partial tile, cuts, and damage that will be thrown away. Normally, figure 10-15% based on the configuration of the area. If you are intalling in a kitchen that has pantries and refrigerator cutouts, that will increase your waste. If you are tiling a square room, it will likely be less.
