17000 spent on expenses if that amount is 58.6% of total income how much is made a year

Step-by-step explanation:

58.6% of the total income is 17,000

let x represent the total income

58.6% (x) = 17,000 ... turn ur percent to a decimal

0.586x = 17,000

x = 17,000 / 0.586

x = 29010.238 rounds to 29,010.24 <= = total yearly income

check ...

58.6% of 29,010.24 = 17,000

0.586 (29,010.24) = 17,000

17,000 = 17,000 (correct)
