Area of tile = 20 in x 20 in = 5/3 ft * 5/3 ft = 25/9 sq ft

Area to be covered = 12*24 = 288 sq ft

Minimum number of tiles required = 288/ (25/9) = 103.68 rounded up, that is 104.

In real life, you will need more. That will depend on how well behaved the shape is, the extent to which you can use offcuts and your skill level. You should allow 5-7% extra,

How many 20x20 inch tiles does it take to cover 1744 square feet?

Area of each tile = 20*20 sq inches = 400 sq inches. Area to be covered = 1744 sq ft = 1744*144 = 251136 sq inches. So minimum number of tiles required = 251136/400 = 627.8 is 628 tiles. That is the mathematical answer which assumes that almost all the offcuts can be used. If the area to be covered is odd shaped there will be a lot of offcuts that cannot be used unless you want a mosaic effect!
