Question

Last year, the expenses at Mack's Pizzeria were 2/7 of the total revenue and the remainder was profit. The profit, or the total revenue less expenses, was $183,100. Find the total revenue.

Answer 1

Answer: $256,340

Step-by-step explanation:

If the expenses made up 2/7 of total revenue, the remainder is 5/7. That means 5/7 of the revenue is profit. 5/7 = 183,100.

Divide 183,100 by 5 to find 1/7 of the revenue.

183,100/5 = 36,620

Multiply that by 7 to find the total revenue.

36,620 * 7 = $256,340

Answer 2

Answer:

$256,340

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total revenue, we can solve the equation:

$183,100 = x - (2/7 * x)

First, we'll factor out x:

$183,100 = x * (1 - 2/7)

Next, we simplify the right side:

$183,100 = x * (5/7)

To isolate x, we divide both sides by 5/7:

x = $183,100 / (5/7)

x = $183,100 * (7/5)

x = $256,340

Therefore, the total revenue for Mack's Pizzeria was $256,340
