A one-minute advertisement on a local television station during prime time (8-10 p.m. on weeknights) costs the advertiser $12800. To the nearest cent, how much does the advertisement cost per second?
I converted the minute to 60sec. Then divided the cost by the 60 and got $213.33 but I'm not sure of my answer. May you please do step by step explanation?
Your answer is correct.
1 min = 60 sec
$12800 / 60 sec = $213.33 / sec
Thank you for the confirmation.
Sure! Let's break down the steps to find the cost of the advertisement per second:
Step 1: Find the number of seconds in one minute.
There are 60 seconds in one minute.
Step 2: Divide the total cost of the advertisement by the number of seconds.
The total cost of the advertisement is $12,800.
Divide $12,800 by 60 to get the cost per second.
$12,800 / 60 = $213.33
So, the cost of the advertisement per second is $213.33 (rounded to the nearest cent).
Your calculation is correct! The advertisement costs approximately $213.33 per second.
