Question

a director of a home healthcare agency calculates that one half of the budget is spent for supplies and
`(1)/(6)` transportation and supplies and transportation called the $83,595 what is the total budget

Answer 1

The total budget is of $334,380

Explanation:

We have that:

1/12 of the budget is spent for supplies.

1/6 of the budget is spend in transportation.

This is:

`(1)/(12)+(1)/(6)=(1)/(12)+(2)/(12)=(1+2)/(12)=(3)/(12)=(1)/(4)`

1/4 of the budget x.

1/4 of the budget x is 83595. So

x/4 = 83595

x = 83595*4

x = 334380

The total budget is of $334,380
