Question

If 400,000 tourists contribute $67 million to a local economy, how much would 600,000 tourists contribute?

Answer 1

`100.5\ \text{million}` is contributed by 600,000 tourists.

Explanation:

Given that,

400,000 tourists contribute $67 million to the local economy.

We need to find how much would 600,000 tourists contribute.

400,000 tourists = $67 million

1 tourist =
`((67)/(400,000 ))\ \text{million}`

So, 600,000 tourists contribution is :

`600000\ \text{tourists}=((67)/(400,000 ))* 600000\ \text{million}\\\\=100.5\ \text{million}`

Hence,
`100.5\ \text{million}` is contributed by 600,000 tourists.
