Percentage
To calculate the income of the local government, we can use the information given:
Agriculture expenditure = 15%
Amount spent on agriculture = GH 45,000
To find the total income, we can set up the following equation:
15% of the total income = GH 45,000
Let's solve for the total income:
Total income = (GH 45,000) / (15/100)
Total income = GH 45,000 / 0.15
Total income = GH 300,000
a) The income of the local government is GH 300,000.
To calculate the amount spent on education, we can use the information given:
Education expenditure = 45%
Total income = GH 300,000
To find the amount spent on education, we can set up the following equation:
45% of the total income = Amount spent on education
Let's solve for the amount spent on education:
Amount spent on education = 45% of GH 300,000
Amount spent on education = (45/100) * GH 300,000
Amount spent on education = GH 135,000
b) The amount spent on education is GH 135,000.
