Jerome is a co-owner of a small company and received 1/3 of the company’s profits this year. What were the company’s overall profits if Jerome made $150,000? Write an equation and solve

Respuesta :

Let the total amount of profit from the company be x. Therefore, 1/3x = 150000. We can then solve this equation to find the toal profit.


1/3x = 150000


Multiply by 3 on both sides.

x = 450000


Thus, the total profit the company made is $450,000.

x = 450000 happy to help
