Next fiscal year total operating expenses = 750,000,000 x 1.02 = 765,000,000
Staff compensation = 55% of 765,000,000 = 420,750,000
wages = 2/3 of staff compensation = 420,750,000 x 2/3 = 280,5000,000
benefits = 1/3 of staff compensation = 420,750,000 x 1/3 = 140,250,000
Staff compensation = 55% of 765,000,000 = 420,750,000
wages = 2/3 of staff compensation = 420,750,000 x 2/3 = 280,5000,000
benefits = 1/3 of staff compensation = 420,750,000 x 1/3 = 140,250,000

1. We are asked to find the total wages and total benefits next fiscal year. To do this, we have to write out all the changes and percentages of the total operating expenses.
2. Let's do this for the total wages. Next fiscal year, the total operating expenses will be 2% more than $750,000,000, which is \(750000000 * 1.02 =\) $765,000,000. Staff compensation is 55% or \(765000000 * 0.55 =\) $420,750,000. The total wage next fiscal year accounts for \(\frac{2}{3}\) of the staff compensation or \(420750000 * \frac{2}{3} =\) $280,500,000.
3. The total benefits for next fiscal year is calculate the same way, except it's \(\frac{1}{3}\) of the staff compensation or \(420750000 * \frac{1}{3} =\) $140,250,000.
