If 75% of the

budget is

$1200, what

is the full

budget?

Write a different

question

Full budget is $1600

A different question will be,

What is 75% of a budget of $1600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the full budget is x

75% of x = 1200

75% means 75/100

75/100 of x = 75/100 times x = 1200

75x/100 = 1200

We cross multiply to get

75x = 1200 times 100

75x = 120000

Then, we divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x, 75

75x/75 = 120000/75

x = 1600

Therefore, the full budget is $1600

The amount is $1600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

75/100 of x = 1200

0.75x=1200

Divide by 0.75

0.75x/0.75=1200/0.75

x=1200/0.75

x=1600
