Question

47% of the company's monthly income is used to pay the owner's personal salary. If the amount of the owner's salary is $2176.10, what is the company's total monthly income.

Answer 1

you have to set up a ratio between the owner's income and the total income so

47 = 2176.10
53 x

then cross multiply to slove for x

47x = 115333.30

then divide each side by 47

x = 2453.90

the company makes $ 2453.90
