Answer:

35,000 was the total revenue the previous year

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue of this year = 48,300

Revenue of the last year = M

38% more than their total revenue the previous year which can be written as:

38% of M = 48,300 - M

0.38 M= 48,300 -M

1.38 M = 48,300

[tex]M=\frac{48,300}{1.38}=35,000[/tex]

35,000 was the total revenue the previous year
