Given the statement:
75% of the budget is $1200.
Determine the full budget.
Solution:
In order to determine the full budget, we simply need to divide the decimal value of the percentage to 1200. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 75/100
= 0.75
= $1200/0.75
= $1600
Final answer:
The full budget is $1600.
