the revenue for a sandwich shop is directly proportinal to its advertising budge. when the owner spent 2000. a month on advertising, the revenue was $120,000. if the revenue is now $ 180,000 how much is the owner spending on advertising?
The 50% increase in reveune implies that the advertising budget also incrfeased 50%. That is what "directly proprtional" implies.
To find out how much the owner is spending on advertising now, we can use the concept of proportionality and create a proportion using the given information.
Let x be the advertising budget the owner is currently spending.
According to the given information, when the owner spent $2000 on advertising, the revenue was $120,000. This can be written as:
2000/120000 = x/180000
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
2000 * 180000 = 120000 * x
360000000 = 120000 * x
Dividing both sides by 120000:
x = 360000000 / 120000
x = 3000
Therefore, the owner is currently spending $3000 on advertising.
