Given

The circle graph shows how the annual budget for a company is divided by department.

If the amount budgeted for Media and Engineering combined is $15,000,000,

To find the total annual budget.

Explanation:

Let x be the annual budget.

Since the amount budgeted for Media and Engineering combined is $15,000,000.

Then,

`\begin{gathered} 5\%\text{ }of\text{ }x+15\%\text{ }of\text{ }x=15000000 \\ (5)/(100)* x+(15)/(100)* x=15000000 \\ 5x+15x=15000000*100 \\ 20x=15000000*100 \\ x=(15000000*100)/(20) \\ x=15000000*5 \\ x=75000000 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the annual budget is $75000000.
