Remember to add some as you will need to match up.

From my experiences, one more than you initially buy ;-)

22' x 12' = 6.71m x 3.66m = 24.56 sq m.

24.56 divided by 1.48 = 16.59, so in an ideal word you'd need 17 packs. However that might require you cutting up some tiles into very small pieces to fill the gaps around the edges, so it's better to work from the actual number of tiles, rather than 'per square metre'.

Google suggests that your tiles are likely to be 30.5cm x 61cm. (e.g. here: https://www.rearo.co.uk/bathroom/clixeal-flooring/clixeal-linear-grey-tile-effect-click-vinyl-flooring-148-square-metres-8-tiles-per-box-25691/ )

Placing the long edges of the tile against the longest wall (6.71m divided by 0.61m) shows that you'd need exactly 11 tiles in a row. Dividing 3.66m by 0.305m shows that you'd need exactly 12 rows. (That's amazing! I've never encountered a situation where some tile cutting wasn't required around the edges before!).

So you'd need 11 x 12 = 132 tiles. With 8 tiles in box you'd need 16½ boxes, confirming my original estimate of 17 as the number of boxes that you'd actually need to purchase.
