Question

The pie chart below shows how the annual budget for a certain company is divided by department. If the amount budgets forceditoral and sales combined is12,500,000, what is the total annual budget

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to find the total annual budget given that the combined amount for sales and editorial is $12,500,000

To do so, let the total combined amount be x

If we check for the combined percentages for the amount for sales and editorial, we will have

`21\text{ \%}+4\text{ \% = 25\%}`

Thus, we can set up the equation

`25\text{ \% of x = 12,500,00}`

Solving for x

`\begin{gathered} (25)/(100)* x=12500000 \\ \\ (x)/(4)=12500000 \\ \\ x=4*12,500,000 \\ \\ x=50,000,000 \\ \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the total annual budget will be $50,000,000
