It depends on the actual dimensions of the room.
A room that is exactly 10 feet by 10 feet would be 100 SF and could be tiled with 100 tiles and no waste.
A room that is 9'-6" x 10'-7" would require 110 tiles. It's 10 tiles wide by 11 tiles long. This example produces 10 percent waste.

a 12 by 12 time is one square foot, so without any waste in a perfectly square room 100 would do it, but of course since you start in exactly the center using cut tiles on both sides of the room if needed, and considering you will have waste, I would consider having a 15 or 20 percent waste factor
Also you will want some extra tiles on hand for repairs latter down the road.

If you do a straight lay with 1/4" grout spacing in a square or rectangular room I would say 110 tiles (100 sft plus 10% waste). It is a good idea to add another case (10-15 per case of ceramic) to keep in case you have to do repairs down the road. Once you buy your tile, it is nearly impossible to find the same tile again (especially of the same die lot and caliber). If the room has many angles or you decide to lay on the diagonal I would say 115 tiles plus another extra case for down the road (100 sft plus 15% waste).

It will take you 100 pieces of 12 x 12 tile only if you do your floor on a "straight" lay, otherwise add 30% on top of 100 to allow for your cuts, this is if you are going to do a "diagonal" or "45 degree" lay. Good luck. You don't have to add any extra tile for your cuts on a straight lay if your good, otherwise add 5 tiles or ten. What ever makes you feel confortable.

Your tiles are 1 foot by 1 foot square. If the room has a 100 square foot surface, then you need 100 tiles. Right? However, if your room is 100 feet by 100 feet, then you have ten thousand square feet of surface, therefore you would need 10,000 tiles. I hardly think the second number is accurate, though, from your description.
Using the first figure, add ten percent ffor erros and you have a hundred and ten tiles.
Good luck.

it will only take 144 12x12 tiles to fill your 100 sq ft room. do the math. 12 times 12 equals 144 right?

If your tiles are one sq ft each (12" by 12"), and the room is one hundred sq ft, then obviously, 100 tiles.

100 plus 10 for wastage.
Simple arithmatic. 1 foot square tiles, in a 100 sq.ft. room.
