Question 91718
Editorial 6%, Engineering 19%.  Total combined is $25,000,000.   What is the annual budget.

Answer:

Let the annual budget be = x 

Now 6% of x +19% of x = $ 25,000,000

==> 25% 0f x = $ 25,000,000  ( add 6+19 = 25)

==>  25/100 *x = $ 25,000,000

multiply by 100/25 on both sides 

==> 25/100*100/25 *x = $ 25,000,000*100/25

 ==> x = $25,000,000*100/25

==> x = $100,000,000

==> The annual budget = $ 100,000,000

check

6%  of 100,000,000 = 6/100* 100,000,000

                   = 6,000,000

19% of 100,000,000 = 19/100*100,000,000

                   = 19,000,000

6,000,000+ 19,000,000 = 25,000,000


==> Hence the annual budget is 100,000,000
