Obviously the answerers have done the basic math for you.
The issue is a bit deeper, in the size grout lines you choose; Usually 1/4 for floors. That equates to 49 inches of floor space for every 4 - 12 inch tiles; dictating that you'll have to make cuts.
The cove base molding should be removed, if any exists. The tile is usually kept off the wall by 1/4 inch, then cove base re-installed to finish. That allows cut edges or oops to be hidden.
Consider that over 9 ft. you'll end up with at least one cut creating one line of tile approximately 9& 3/4 inches. Certainly you should "Square" the area first, determine that the most number of full pieces should be aesthetically pleasing, and perhaps split that cut into two equal cuts on two opposing sides. (that might be determined by how much of any cut area will show; or any cabinetry; OR linen closet; etc.)
I allow no less than 10 % for waste and extra. In your case an extra box or two. Tile is often sold in boxes of 8 to 10 pieces.

Well, you need a minimum of 108 tiles....
You'll be wanting some extra in case you need to off set the pattern, or the room isnt perfectly square, or walls aren't perfectly straight, etc. It also is a good idea to have a few extra for future repairs. I'd buy about 120 myself, or whatever quantity they come packaged in that is close to that.
Good Luck

If the room is actually a 9ft. by 12 ft. just multiply those number to get the sq. ft. Of any tile size.

9 x 12 = 108
You need a minimum of 108 pieces.
Have taken into consideration of the skirkting ?
Always have at least a dozen extra in case of any breakage or mistake and also for future repairs/replacement?
