Oh gosh, we need way more information before we can solve this!
12 boxes of what? Boxes of tiles or something like that? If so, we need to know the size of each thing in the box, plus how many there are in the box. And we also need to know the size of the wall.
Without that info, there's no way to answer your question.

Answering all your questions here!
If the tiles cost £15 a box, the cost of 12 boxes would be 12*15 = £180
Now for your area question. I will ignore the space that there should be between tiles!
Each box holds 16 tiles. You have 12 boxes, so you have (12*16) tiles = 192 tiles.
Now for each tile's size. If each tile is 30cm*20cm, it is 600sq cm.
so the total area is number of tiles times the area of each tile: 192*600=115,200sq cm.
And your other question:
1 metre is 100cm
so 1 square metre is 100cm by 100cm
That is 10,000 sq cm.
Now back to the area question, but in square metres.
If the tiles will cover 115,200 sq cm, then divide this by 10,000 to get it in square metres:
115,200/10,000=11.52 square metres.
So 12 boxes containing 16 tiles of 20x30cm will cover 11.52 square metres

If your tiles are still
30x20 = 600 x16 per box = 9600 sq.cms. (approx 20 sq.ft.),
multiply that by your 12 = 240 sq.ft. (115,800 sq.cms)
1inch = 2.54 cm
10 " = 25.40 cm
does that help ?

I can't help you unless you give at least the dimensions of the boxes.
