Question

Three magazines—Car Fancier, Automobeat, and Autos Illustrated—direct their messages at a similar target audience. The following data show the number of ad pages sold for each magazine last year:

Car Fancier: 337.5
Automobeat: 604
Autos Illustrated: 408.5

Calculate the percentage share Car Fancier has for the time period.

Answer 1

Answer: 25%

Explanation:

First find the total number of ad pages sold for all the magazines:

= 337.5 + 604 + 408.5

= 1,350 pages

Car Fancier has 337.5 pages out of that so their percentage share is:

= 337.5 / 1,350

= 25%
