This system has a total of 1500 students. 600/1500 = 0.4 = 40%
0.4 * 15,000 = $________________
School #2 has 600 students
School #3 has 400 students
What part of a $15,000 allocation will go to school #2?
15,000 divide by 3=

To find the amount that will go to school #2, we need to know the total number of students in all three schools. Adding up the number of students in each school, we have:
500 + 600 + 400 = 1500 students total
Now, we can use the proportion of school #2's students to the total number of students to find the allocation amount. The proportion is:
600 students ÷ 1500 students = 0.4
To find the part of the $15,000 allocation that will go to school #2, we multiply the proportion by the total allocation:
0.4 × $15,000 = $6,000
So, the correct answer is that $6,000 will go to school #2.
Your answer of $5,000 is not correct. Please double-check your calculations.
