Answer 1

the company's total budget is 20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

A company spends 13% of its month budget on rent which total $2600

Let x be the month budget on rent

13% of the month budget is 2600

13% can be written as 13/100

Now we solve for x

multiply both sides by 100

divide both sides by 13

x=20000

So, the company's total budget is 20,000
