Question

2. In the circle graph above, you can see that 47% of the company's monthly income is used to pay the owner's personal salary. If the amount of the owner's personal salary was $2,176.10 this month, what was the company's total monthly income this month? A. $4,630 B. $21,590 C. $10,227 D. $8,704

Answer 1

So whe have $\frac{47}{100}$ that is paid to the boss.

The boss won 2,176.10 this month. $\frac{2,176}{x}$
So our equation would end as...
$\frac{47}{100}=\frac{2,176}{x}$

We solve what can be solved...
0.47=\frac{2,176}{x} 

Then we leave our unknown value alone...
0.47x=2,176
x=\frac{2,176}{0.47} 

Last we solve...
x= 4,629.79
x≈4,630

So the answer is A.
