Question

in 2002, a 30 second commercial during super bowl cost an average of 1,900,000. At this rate, how much would a 45 second commercial cost?

Answer 1

1,900,000 divided by 30 = 36,333.33 per second

36,333.33 x 45 = 1,634,999.85

Answer 2

This is a unit multiplier of sorts

1,900,000 x 45/30

Simplify

1,900,000 x 3/2 

2,850,000
