Hello!
First, we must divide the school budget by 4, and then multiply that by 3.
54,000 ÷ 4 = 13,500
13,500 × 3 = 40,500
54,000 - 40,500 = 13,500
Now, divide the remaining budget by 3 so that we can find how much money has been allotted to soccer.
13,500 ÷ 3 = 4,500
So, the soccer budget is C $4,500.
