The Smiths spend 11% of their budget on entertainment. Their total budget this year is $1,000 more than last year, and this year they plan to spend $5,060 on entertainment. What was their total budget last year?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$365,400

Step-by-step explanation:

If their budget is $5,060 this year and its $1,000 higher, than we can say that last year was $4060. Next, we look at the 11%. Their entertainment is 11% of the total budget. This means the rest of the budget is 89%. Multiply $4,060 by 89 which gets you $361,340. Add this with the $4060 (the 11% left) and it's $365,400. (I'm not sure if my math is 100% correct, but I know these are the proper steps.)
