1% = 36000÷20= 1800
100% = 100× 1800= 180000

the dollar amount of the retail price of his recordings is $ 180000.

Answer:

The dollar amount of the retail price of his recordings is $180,000

Explanation:

Data:

20% royalty is $36,000

We are looking for the retail price that is 100%

We use cross-multiplication

a/b=c/d

$36,000/20%= x/100%

x=$36,000*100%/20%

x=$180,000
