Find the total revenue

Question

Suppose a company has an advertising of $880000 in 2016, which represent 35% of their total revenue. What is the total revenue?

Answer 1

Hi Nell,

I write the equations as I read them.

880,000 is 35% of total revenue

880,000 = .35 multiplied by r

880,000 = .35r

Now you divide both sides by .35 and revenue is $2,524,385.71
