The answer is $3000. You first want to set up a proportion, so 750/9000=1000/x. Then you will cross multiply to get (9000)(1000)=750x. Divide both sides and you will get x=12000. However, the question is asking how much is remaining, so we want to find the difference of 12000 and 9000, which ends up being $3000.
