    Maybe it has been a long day but I can’t seem to work out a simple sum.
    I have a customer who can only have 10% advertising of their 3248.6 mm x 1674.455 mm shop window. How do I find out what size this allocates? 🙄

    I think you may have your decimal point in the wrong place..

    However, I’m guessing these figures rounded up are 3.248M x 1.674M = 5.438M Sq.

    10% of this is .54M sq

    e.g an area .735M x .735M (735mm x 735mm)

    Alternatively – divide 0.54 by the width you intend to cover to determine the total height available. e.g If you are going to letter the full width of the window this would equate to 0.54/3.25 = .166M (i.e 166mm)
