Question

A magazine charges Rs. 300 per 10 sq cm area for advertising. A company decided to order a half page advertisement. If each page of the magazine is 15 cm × 24 cm, what amount will the company has to pay for it?

Answer 1

The area of one page of magazine = length × breadth = (15 × 24) cm² = 360 cm²

∴ Area of the half page of magazine

= 360/2 cm² = 180 cm²

Cost of advertising for 10 cm² = Rs. 300

∴ Cost of advertising for 180 cm²

= Rs. 300/10 x 150 = Rs. 5400
