**a.** Let 'C' be the total cost and 'x' be the area in cm². The expression for the total cost is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "C = 9000 + 50x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**b.** The advertising budget is between £10,800 and £12,500. So, the inequality is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10800 ≤ C ≤ 12500\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the expression for C:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10800 ≤ 9000 + 50x ≤ 12500\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 9000 from all parts of the inequality:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10800 - 9000 ≤ 50x ≤ 12500 - 9000
\n" ); document.write( "1800 ≤ 50x ≤ 3500\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide all parts by 50:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1800/50 ≤ x ≤ 3500/50
\n" ); document.write( "36 ≤ x ≤ 70\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the minimum area that could be used is 36 cm², and the maximum area is 70 cm².
\n" ); document.write( "
