Question

Laurence, the stadium manager, spends $22,000 on a broadcast TV ad, $30,000 on a cable TV ad, and $6,000 on a radio ad. What percentage of broadcast TV advertising did he do? (Round up)

Answer 1

38 % of amount is spent on broadcast TV advertising

Solution:

Given that,

Amount spend on broadcast TV ad = $ 22, 000

Amount spend on cable TV ad = $ 30, 000

Amount spend on radio ad = $ 6000

To find: percentage of broadcast TV advertising

Total amount = $ 22, 000 + $ 30, 000 + $ 6000

Total amount = $ 58000

percentage of broadcast TV advertising = $\frac{\text{ amount spend on broadcast tv}}{\text{ total amount}} \times 100$

$\rightarrow \frac{22000}{58000} \times 100\\\\\rightarrow 0.3793 \times 100 = 37.93 \approx 38$

Thus 38 % of amount is spent on broadcast TV advertising
