Ans: Area of one page of the magazine $=15 cm \times 24 cm =360$ $cm ^{2}$
Than,area of half page of the magazine $=\dfrac{360}{2} cm ^{2}=180 cm ^{2}$
Cost of advertising for $10 cm ^{2}=$ Rs.300
Cost of advertising for $1 cm ^{2}=\dfrac{Rs.300}{10}$
Cost of advertising for $180 cm ^{2}$=$\text { Rs. } \dfrac{300}{10} \times 180$
$=\text { Rs. } 30 \times 180=\text { Rs. } 5400$
