Question

17000 spent on expenses if that amount is 58.6% of total income how much is made a year

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

58.6% of the total income is 17,000

let x represent the total income

58.6%(x) = 17,000...turn ur percent to a decimal

0.586x = 17,000

x = 17,000 / 0.586

x = 29010.238 rounds to 29,010.24 <== total yearly income

check...

58.6% of 29,010.24 = 17,000

0.586(29,010.24) = 17,000

17,000 = 17,000 (correct)
