Question

The circle graph shows how the annual budget for a company is divided by department. If the amount budgeted for Media and Sales combined is , what is the total annual budget?

Answer 1

Answer:

125,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

In percentage,

Media + Sales = 3 + 17 = 20%

Let total budget be "t", so we can say:

20% of total budget is 25,000,000

"of" means "multiplication" and "is" means "equal to", so we can convert word equation to algebraic equation. Shown below:

20% * t = 25,000,000

20% = 20/100 = 0.2

Thus, the final equation is:

0.2t = 25,000,000

Solving for t, we get:

$0.2t = 25,000,000\\t=\frac{25,000,000}{0.2}\\t=125,000,000$

The total budget is (125 million) = 125,000,000
