The pie chart below shows how the annual budget for a certain company is divided by department. If the amount budgeted for Editorial and Engineering combined is , what is the total annual budget?
Editorial is 3% and engineering is 17%.

How much money is in editorial and in engineering budgets?

I am sorry Ms. Sue the money on both for editorial and engineering is $15,000,000.

Thank you

0.2x = 15,000,000

Solve for x.

To find the total annual budget, you need to know the combined percentage of the budget allocated for Editorial and Engineering. From the given information, you know that Editorial accounts for 3% of the budget, and Engineering accounts for 17% of the budget.

To calculate the total annual budget, you can add these percentages together.

First, convert the percentages to decimals by dividing each percentage by 100.

3% as a decimal is 0.03, and 17% as a decimal is 0.17.

Now, add the decimal values together:

0.03 + 0.17 = 0.20

This means that 20% of the annual budget is allocated for Editorial and Engineering combined.

To find the total annual budget, you need to determine what value represents 100% of the budget.

You can use the equation:

0.20 * Total Annual Budget = Amount Budgeted for Editorial and Engineering Combined

Now, let's solve for the Total Annual Budget. Divide both sides of the equation by 0.20:

Total Annual Budget = (Amount Budgeted for Editorial and Engineering Combined) / 0.20

Since you haven't provided the specific amount budgeted for Editorial and Engineering combined, you'll need that information to calculate the total annual budget.
