Question

If 75% of the

budget is
$1200, what
is the full
budget. using a tape diagram?

Answer 1

$1600

Explanation:

Tape diagram is attached. The xoncept of tape diagram goes hand in hand with cross multiplication. The first diagram shows that 75% is equivalent to $1200 then the second diagram requires to know what 100% would represent.

If 75% which is equal to 3/4 or 0.75 represent $1200

Then what would be 100% or 1

We cross multiply 100*1200/75=$1600

Therefore, the full budget is $1600
