Write a different
question

Answer 1

Full budget is $1600

A different question will be,

What is 75% of a budget of $1600

Explanation:

Let us assume the full budget is x

75% of x = 1200

75% means 75/100

75/100 of x = 75/100 times x =1200

75x/100 = 1200

We cross multiply to get

75x = 1200 times 100

75x = 120000

Then, we divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x, 75

75x/75 = 120000/75

x = 1600

Therefore, the full budget is $1600

Answer 2

The amount is $1600

Explanation:

Let the number be x

75/100 of x =1200

0.75x=1200

Divide by 0.75

0.75x/0.75=1200/0.75

x=1200/0.75

x=1600
