Answer:
4(1.5 * 16.50) + (1.5 * 9.60)

Last year:
Cost of full page ad = $16.50
Cost of half page ad = $9.60
50% increase in ad price this year :
Price, this year :
Full page = 1.50 * 16. 50 = $24.75
Half page = 1.50 * $9.60 = $14.4
Expression :
4(1.5 * 16.50) + (1.5 * 9.60)
Cost of a 4 and 1/2 page ad :
Full page = 4 * $24.75 = $99
Half page = 1 * $14.4 = $14.40
Total cost = $(99 + 14.40) = $113.40
