Question

The circle graph Shows how a family spends his annual income. If 27,000 Is used for insurance and housing combined, what is the total annual income?

Answer 1

insurance = 11%

housing = 25%

Insurance + housing = 11 + 25 = 36% = 0.36 (decimal form )

That 36% is equal to $27,000

0.36 x = 27,000

x = 27,000 / 0.36

x = 75,000

Total annual income = $75,000
