Answer #1

Solution: $256,000
Working:

   State 1    Totals   % of share   Working     
Sales   9,000,000   20,000,000   45%   900,000/ 20,000,000     
Property Values   1,500,000   5,000,000   30%   1,500,000 / 5,000,000     
Compensation   1,890,000   9,000,000   21%   1,890,000 / 9,000,000     
   12,390,000   34,000,000   96%         


Weighted average = 96% / 3 = 32%
Sales = 800,000 * 32% = 256,000
