the smiths spend 11% of their budget on entertainment. their total budget this year is $1,000 more than last year, and this year they plan to spend $4,620 on entertainment. what was their total budget last year?

Answer 1

Answer: $41000 Was the Smiths family budget last year.

Explanation:

First you take $4620 and DIVIDE it by .11 you will get $42000 and since last year had $1000 less to spend you subtract $1000 from $42000 to get $41000 for the budget last year.
