Answer 1

The amount budgeted for Sales and Research combined is $75,000,000.

Therefore, the total budget(x) will be

`\begin{gathered} (15+35)\%\text{ of x = }75000000 \\ 50\%* x=75000000 \\ (50)/(100)* x=75000000 \\ 0.5x=75000000 \\ x=(75000000)/(0.5)=150,000,000 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the total annual budget is

`\text{ \$}150,000,000`
