Question

Past experience shows that a process requires $17.50 worth of material for every $12 spent on labour. How much should be budgeted for material if the budget for labour is $17,760?

Answer 1

USE PROPORTIONS
\[$12=$17 ~~Worth ~of ~material\]
\[17760=x\]
so \[\frac{x}{17}=\frac{17760}{12} \Longrightarrow x=\frac{17760}{12}17\]
