Question

This year, a small business had a total revenue of $ 62 , 100. If this is 35 % more than their total revenue from the previous year, what was the total revenue the previous year?

Answer 1

Answer:

$46000

Step-by-step explanation:

if x represents the previous years revenue, and they made 35% more than x, we need to find what 35% of x is and then add it to x to get the new total, so the equation becomes:

x + .35x = 62100

1.35x = 62100

x = 46000

Answer 2

Let x = Last Year's Revenue

x + 0.35x = $62,100

1.35x = $62,100

x = $46,000
