45,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a proportion to find last year's budget. A proportion is an equation where two ratios are set equal to each other. We create two fractions using the budget and percents.

We begin solving by cross multiplying numerator to denominator of each fraction.

This is the budget for this year. However this budget is 2000 more than last year.

47000=2000=45000 is last years budget.

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42
