How many tiles do I need for my kitchen backsplash?

I measured my kitchen backsplash it measure 165" across & 17" down how many 10x10 tiles would I need, my math is not my best suit.
don't know why not. I've used everything. I even line my shelves with self stick tiles.
just be sure the back splash is clean, smooth and grease free.
I would think you could with no problem. I think what may be key is making sure your back splash is very clean. I would also sand it as to rough it up for better adhesion. I would look for the smallest tiles as I think it may have a more professional look to it, although I really don’t know. Just an idea.... There are also so very many peel and stick options these days it may also be a option worth looking into. Good luck....
I’m thinking about using those wood plank vinyl tiles. I think that would look like shiplap.
I’ve used floor tiles in a past home for a back splash, 12X12 size. brick pattern. I thought I could just peel and stick but I learned quickly that heat from the stove made them drop. So, I added a very strong glue to the back and rehung them. They never fell again.
Good luck
