    The amount spent on all other types of advertising is $90 billion

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In this question, we are asked to calculate the amount spent on all other forms of advertising given the amount spent on tv advertising and the percentage of the total that it represents.

    Firstly, we need to calculate the total amount spent on advertising.

    we do not know this amount, so we can call it x.

    Now, mathematically;

    40% of x = $60 billion

    40/100 * x = 60 billion

    40x = 100 * 60 billion

    x = (100 * 60) / 40 = 6000/40 = 150 billion

    The amount spent on all other advertising = Total amount spent on advertising - amount spent on television advertising = 150 billion - 60 billion = 90 billion
