\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When you see the word \"of\" it means multiply. So 25% of the budget = 25% * budget. Remember that a % is the number divided by 100 so 25% = 25/100.


\n" ); document.write( "Given a budget of b, to find the cost c (business space rent and utilities) the formula is:


\n" ); document.write( "c = (25/100)b


\n" ); document.write( "For this specific case c = (25/100)*118250. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
