Sagot :

Certainly! Let's determine the cost for a [tex]\(\frac{3}{4}\)[/tex] page in the advertisement book.

1. Identify the cost of a single [tex]\(\frac{1}{4}\)[/tex] page:

The cost of a [tex]\(\frac{1}{4}\)[/tex] page is given as \[tex]$15.50. 2. Determine how many \(\frac{1}{4}\) pages comprise a \(\frac{3}{4}\) page: A \(\frac{3}{4}\) page is equal to 3 times a \(\frac{1}{4}\) page. 3. Calculate the total cost for a \(\frac{3}{4}\) page: Since \(\frac{3}{4}\) is 3 times \(\frac{1}{4}\), we multiply the cost of a \(\frac{1}{4}\) page by 3. Cost of a \(\frac{3}{4}\) page = 3 * \$[/tex]15.50

4. Calculate the result:

[tex]\( 3 \times 15.50 = 46.50 \)[/tex]

Therefore, the cost for a [tex]\(\frac{3}{4}\)[/tex] page in the advertisement book is [tex]\(\$46.50\)[/tex], which corresponds to option (B).
