Question

A company spends $450,000 on print advertising. Of that amount, the advertising director wants to spend 55% on magazine ads. How much of the print advertising budget will the director spend on magazine ads?

Answer 1

$247,500

Explanation:

You have to turn this into a proportion, which will look like this:

`x/450000^` = `55/100^`

To find the value of x, you have to multiply 450,000 by 55, from this you should get 24,750,000.

Then divide 24,750,000 by 100 to get 247,500.

Hope this helped :)
