Answer 2

Answer:

Find out the  how much is his overall budget .

To prove

Let us assume that the overall budget of Mr.Hollins be x.

As given

Mr. Hollins determined that he gives away $800 each month.

If he gives away 16% of his budget.

16% is written in the decimal form.

$= \frac{16}{100}$

= 0.16

x × 0.16 = 800

$x = \frac{800}{0.16}$

x = $5000

Therefore the overall budget of Mr.Hollins be $5000 .
