Question

The circle graph shows how the annual budget for a company is divided by department. If the total annual budget is 100,000,000, what amount is budgeted for media and engineering combined?

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information, we are going to calculate the requested amount of the budget, so we obtain the following:

So to calculate the total combined budget we will add the percentages and multiply them by the total budget, so we have:

Amount budgeted for media and engineering combined=(Media+Engineering)*total annual budget

Amount budgeted for media and engineering combined=(6%+14%)*100,000,000

Amount budgeted for media and engineering combined=(20%)*100,000,000

Amount budgeted for media and engineering combined=20,000,000

Finally we obtain that the Amount budgeted for media and engineering combined is $20,000,000.
