Answer:
61,600
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem first we need to know how much is 10% of 56,000 and then add this quantity to the budget of the last year.
We find this 10% by dividing 56,00 by 100 and then we multiply by 10%:
10 % of 56,000 = [tex]\frac{56,000}{100}(10)[/tex]
10 % of 56,000 = [tex]560(10)[/tex]
10 % of 56,000 = [tex]5,600[/tex]
The budget for the new year was increased by 5,600. Thus, the new budget is:
56,000 + 5,600 = 61,600
