The Daily News offers a 15% discount on a Saturday ad that also runs on Tuesday. Skyler Sporting Company contracts for half-page ads to run every Saturday and Tuesday for 10 weeks of the football season. What is the cost of the ads for the season?

The ad cost for half page Saturday after discount is

15% of 380 = 0.15×380 = 57
380 - 57 = 323

The ad cost for half page Tuesday after discount is

15% of 330 = 0.15×330 = 49.5
330 - 49.5 = 280.5

Cost of the ads for 10 Saturdays and 10 Tuesdays

(10×323)+(10×280.5) = 3230+2805 = 6035
