 If the budget of the country was $7,200.00, how much is allocated to education?

A.

$2,400.00

B.

$2,000.00

C.

$1,200.00

D.

$1,000.00

Correct answer is A

To calculate the budget on education, let x represent the budget on education

  Total budget = $7,200

  Expenditure on education = x/$7200 × 3600 = 1200

  3600x = 1200 × $7200

  x = 1200 × $7200/3600

  x = $2,400

  Therefore, the budget allocated to education is $2,400
