Answer 1

$1,000,000

1) Since the editorial and the sales respond to, respectively 4%+16% we can state that these areas comprise 20% of the budget

2) So, we can write out the following

`\begin{gathered} 20\%----20,000,000 \\ 100\%---x \\ 20x=20000000 \\ (20x)/(20)=(20000000)/(20) \\ x=1,000,000 \end{gathered}`

3) Therefore, the total budget is $1,000,000
