Explanation

a. 

Total revenue = 522,500,000 + 60,000,000 + 92,000,000 + 230,000,000 + 100,500,000 + 250,000,000 + 180,500,000

= $1,436,000,000

b. 

30% of Total revenue

=\(\frac{30}{100}\times 1,436,000,000\)

= $430,800,000

c. 

Revenue for the regions/states \(=\frac{60}{100} \times 1,436,000,000


= $861,600,000

\(A=\frac{400000}{1600000}\times 861600000\)
= $215,400,000

\(B=\frac{350000}{1600000}\times 861600000\)
= $188,475,000
 

\(C=\frac{250000}{1600000}\times 861600000\)
= $53,850,000

\(E=\frac{300000}{1600000}\times 861600000\)
= $161,550,000

\(F=\frac{200000}{1600000}\times 861600000\)
= $107,700,000

10% to Education Trust Fund = \(\frac{10}{100}\times 1436000000\)


= $143,600,000

 

 Region/State  Population basis
 A

 215400000

 B

 188475000

 C

 134625000

 D  53850000
 E  161550000
