Answer :

Using proportions, it is found that the number of people that read the paper each week is of 5250.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, the number of people that read the paper is composed by:

  • The 3000 with paid circulation.
  • The 500 free copies, each read by 4.5 people on average.

Hence:

T = 3000 + 500 x 4.5 = 5250.

The number of people that read the paper each week is of 5250.
