Answer is B. $1,600

Given:
part = $400
percentage of the part = 25%
whole = ?

To get the whole or total monthly budget, simply divide the part by its corresponding percentage.

$400 / 0.25 = $1600

Other formulas to consider if other facts are given:

% of Part to the Whole = Part/Whole 100%
                                     = 400/1600 100% 
                                     = 0.25 100%
                                     = 25%

Value of the part of a whole = Whole % of part
                                              = 1600 * 25%/100% 
                                              = 400

Answer: $1600

Step-by-step explanation: The solution is $1600. You can use the equation .25x = 400 to solve this problem.
