Vanessa paid a 2-year subscription amount of $376.90 to receive a magazine every week. After receiving 29 magazines in the second year, she cancelled her subscription. Assume that 1 year = weeks. Round answer to two decimal places. b. Calculate the pro-rated refund she should receive from the magazine company.
The total cost of the subscription for 2 years is $376.90.
Since 1 year is equivalent to 52 weeks, the total number of weeks for 2 years is 2 * 52 = <<2*52=104>>104 weeks.
The cost per week is $376.90 / 104 = $<<376.90/104=3.62>>3.62/week.
Since Vanessa received 29 magazines in the second year, the total cost of the magazines she received is 29 * $3.62 = $<<29*3.62=104.98>>104.98
The pro-rated refund she should receive is $376.90 - $104.98 = $<<376.90-104.98=271.92>>271.92. Answer: \boxed{271.92}.
