Step-by-step explanation:

In Ophiuchus Corporation, 60% of the total revenue R is allocated to the advertising budget. This will be

60% of R

= 3/5 * R

= 3R/5

Five-sixths of this advertising budget was spent on television advertising. This means 5/6 of 3R/5.

= R/2

The dollar amount spent on television advertising is R/2.
