What was the cost to the nearest cent for each person reached by the ad campaign?

Answer 1

The cost to the nearest cent for each person reached by the ad campaign is 368.42 cents .

Explanation:

Given : Megan's spent $1,050 printing and distributing the fliers.

Within 60 days, 285 people came into the gym holding the flier.

To Find: What was the cost to the nearest cent for each person reached by the ad campaign?

Solution :

Total cost of printing = $1050

After seeing the ad 285 people came into the gym holding the flier.

So, the cost for each person reached by the ad campaign :

=
`\frac{\text{total cost of printing}}{\text{total persons}}`

=
`(1050)/(285)`

=
`3.6842`

Thus the cost for each person reached by the ad campaign is $ 3.6842

Since 1 dollar = 100 cents

So. 3.68 dollars = 3.6842 * 100 =368.42 cents .

Hence the cost to the nearest cent for each person reached by the ad campaign is 368.42 cents .

Answer 2

Answer is $ 3.68.

Explanation:

Since Megan's spent $1,050 printing and distributing the fliers.

And Within 60 days, 285 people came into the gym holding the flier.

We need to find the cost to the nearest cent for each person reached by using advertisement.

Solution :

Total cost of printing and distributing = $1050

After seeing the ad 285 people came into the gym holding the flier.

So, the cost for one person reached using ad flier equals

=
`\frac{\text{total cost of printing}}{\text{total persons}}`

=
`(1050)/(285)`

=
`3.6842`

Thus the cost for each person reached by the ad campaign is $ 3.6842

Rounding it to nearest cent is $3.68
