Question

Answer 1

$372 :)
just me getting points

Answer 2

$372

Explanation:

We assume 100% is $1860

We are looking for x=20%

1860/x=100/20

(1860/x)*x=(100/20)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

1860=5*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (5) to get x

1860/5=x

372=x

x=372
