Explanation:
_________________________________________
3:5::x:520,000 ?
Solve for "x" (Note: "x" is in dollars);
3/5 = x/520,000 ;
Using "cross-factor multiplication" ;
__________________________________________________
5x = (3)*(520,000) ;
__________________________________________________
Divide each side by "5" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x":
__________________________________________________
→ [tex] \frac{5x}{5} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{3 * 520,000}{5} ;
_______________________________________________
Note: "520,000 ÷ 5 = 104,000" ;
_______________________________________________
Rewrite as:
______________________________________________
→ x = 3 * 104,000 ;
→ x = 312,000 dollars;
______________________________________________
The answer is: $ 312,000 .
