Area of each tile = 16"*16" = 1.33 ft * 1.33 ft = 1.77... sq ft.

You would, therefore require a minimum of 550/1.77... = 309.4 or 310 tiles.

That assumes that the shape to be covered is well behaved and that all offcuts are used - not a realistic assumption in real life. It is usually recommended that you get 10% extra to allow for wastage.
