Question

Assuming the fraction of $36,000 is $27,000= 3/4How do I determine the proportional raise of $1,000, what is the actual raise in dollars amount?

Answer 1

$750

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

`(27000)/(36000)=(3)/(4)`

and we have to find

`(x)/(1000)=(3)/(4)`

cross multipication gives

`4x=3\cdot1000`
`4x=3000`

dividing both sides by 4 gives

`x=(3000)/(4)`

which simplifies to give

`x=750`

which is our answer1
