Answer 1

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

Therefore, the total budget(x) will be

$\begin{gathered} (15+35)\%\text{ of x = }75000000 \\ 50\%\times x=75000000 \\ \frac{50}{100}\times x=75000000 \\ 0.5x=75000000 \\ x=\frac{75000000}{0.5}=150,000,000 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the total annual budget is

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