After spending $3850 for tables and $1750 for chairs, a convention center

manager finds that 30% of his original budget remains.

Let x represent the original amount of the budget


Question states*** 30% left, then 70% has been spent

$3850 + $1750 = .70x

$5600/.70 = x

x = $8000, the original amount of the budget

.30*$8000 = $2400, the amount that remains.
