Use proportions to figure out the solution.
12,000 32,000
_______ = _______
15,000 x
In this way, you are figuring out the value of x.
To find x, you must first cross multiply these values.
12,000 (32,000)
_______ = _______
(15,000) x
Afterward, you would then divide the product by the remaining known value, in this case , 12,000, and that quotient is the value of x!
