30% of your budget is spent on equipment, 16% on transportation, and 54% on fees. if the total budget is $789, how much money was spent on equipment? a $171.40 b $236.70 c $426.06 d $126.24

Answer

Find out the how much money was spent on equipment .

To prove

Formula

As given

30% of your budget is spent on equipment.

If the total budget is $789 .

Here

Percentage = 30%

Total value = 789

Put in the formula

Part value = $236.70

Therefore $236.70  money was spent on equipment .

Option (B) is correct.

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x

8         8

- 4= x

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
