A picture is copied onto a sheet of paper, which measures 8.5 inches by 10 inches. A border of 1.5 inch is left all around. What is the area, in square inches, covered by the picture?
A
76
B
65
C
38.5
D
59.5
Correct Answer: 38.5
Measurements excluding borders are (8.5 - 2×1.5 = 5.5) inches by (10 - 2×1.5 = 7) inches. So, area of the picture = 5.5×7 = 38.5 in2
