Business and Finance Math Problem?


The revenue for a sandwich shop is directly proprtional to its advertising budget. When the owner spent $2,000 a month on advertising the revenue was $120,000. If the revenue is now 180,000 how much is the owner spending on advertising?

2,000/120,000 = .01666667 (or 1 2/3%)
1 2/3% * 180,000 = 3,000

With revenue of $180,000, the shop would be spending $3,000 on advertising.

ratio of .016666666

The answer is $3000 in advertising

$120,000 in revenue divided by an ad budget of $2,000 gives you a figure of 60. For every $1 spent on advertising, $60 are returned in revenue. Therefore if $180,000 is seen in revenue, then divide it by 60 to get $3,000 in ad budget. The ratio of 0.01666stated above is close, but will put your final answer off by a few cents.

The percentage of the advertising to the revenue is 1.67%, ie 2000/120000x100%=1.67% Then multiply 1.67% by 180,000 and you get $3,000.
