Only three-tenths of the print area of the newspaper carried news. The rest of the area was filled with advertisements. What percent of the print area was filled with advertisements?

3/10 of the area carried news. Thus, (1 - 3/10), or 7/10, of the area was filled with ads.

7/10 is equivalent to 70%. (answer)
