Question

A company spends 13% of its month budget on rent which total $2600 which proportion can be used to calculate the company’s total budget

Answer 1

Answer:

20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a proportion to find the total budget. A proportion is an equation where two ratios are set equal to each other. We create two fractions using the budget and percents.

$\frac{13}{100} =\frac{2600}{x}$

We begin solving by cross multiplying numerator to denominator of each fraction.

$13(x)=100(2600)\\13x=260000\\\frac{13x}{13}=\frac{260000}{13}  \\20,000=x$

Answer 2

Answer:

the company's total budget is 20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

A company spends 13% of its month budget on rent which total $2600

Let x be the month budget on rent

13% of the month budget is 2600

13% can be written as 13/100

$\frac{13}{100} \cdot x=2600$

Now we solve for x

multiply both sides by 100

$13x= 260000$

divide both sides by 13

x=20000

So, the company's total budget is 20,000
