Answer

x=4500

Work Step by Step

The model to the right helps by dividing the blocks into thirds; since 1500 is one third of the total budget, you simply multiply by its reciprocal to figure out the total budget. It can be represented by the following equation. 1500 x 3 = x Multiply 1500 and 3 together to get 4500. 4500 = x.
