The ston family spends $500 per month for rent. This is 4/15 of their total monthly income. Assuming that sale ties remain constant, what is the stone family income for one year

5:4 = 900:x

Cross multiply and solve for x.

5x = 3600

x = 720

(4/15)x = 500

x = ?

Multiply the above answer by 12.

Answered by Henry
4x/15 = 500,
X = $1875/mo.
1875/mo. * 12mo./yr. = $22,500/yr.
