Answer:

Depends on the thickness of the foilSurely you can do the math?
google calculatorGoogle a math problem and it does it.
this is a very easy problemu can answer this.
It is not that difficultHow about solving this: a stone is 1 inch longYour field is 20 feet wideHow many stones can you put in this widthSame for the al foil.
1Insulation is better than no insulation, but if your basement is mostly below grade (underground) the earth outside will do a pretty good job of insulatingIf the structural walls are concrete, you'll want foam panel insulation if you use insulationThis is applied directly to the concrete wall in between the furring strips that you attach drywall toThere is no need to insulate interior walls2Apply drywall for your walls (wallboard)If you want something else for a finished look like paneling, put that on the wallboard after you're doneYou need the wallboard for structural strength of the wall surface3Ceramic tile is the best choice you mentionedIf your concrete slab floor is level, you can apply it directly on top with no further prearationIf it has some high and low spot, go to Home Depot or Lowes or whatever, and buy some self-leveling floor compound to pour on the floor to even it outThe folks at the store can help you if you have questions how to use itYou'll need to do that for any other hard flooring, too, if you choose laminate for instanceYou don't need to if you put in carpet, but I think carpet in a basement is a bad idea because it's easily ruined if there's any kind of water leak, flooding, etc.
