1. solution: let x pages be one centimeter thick.
2.4x=256
X = 2.4 in x=256 (integer cannot be divisible)
3.6x = 2.4×3.6 inches 256.
3.6x=384
A: There are about 384 pages.
2. Solution: Suppose the advertising fee is X yuan per second.
30x×(2*7)=357000
420x=357000
x=357000÷420
x=850
A: Pay the advertising fee by the second, 850 yuan.
3. Solution: Let a * * * earn back X yuan.
1.5×20- 17.2=x
30- 17.2=x
x= 12.8
A: A * * * can earn back 12.8 yuan.
