A certain country has a budget of $1,200,000 for education, which is 15% of its total budget. What is the total budget? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand that the education budget of $1,200,000 is 15% of the total budget.
  • Step 2: Let the total budget be represented by the variable x.
  • Step 3: Write the equation that represents the relationship: 0.15 * x = 1,200,000.
  • Step 4: To find x, divide both sides of the equation by 0.15: x = 1,200,000 / 0.15.
  • Step 5: Calculate the division: 1,200,000 divided by 0.15 equals 8,000,000.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the total budget is $8,000,000.
  • Percentage Calculation – Understanding how to calculate the total amount from a given percentage of that amount.
