1. **State the problem:** We need to find the combined budget for Sales, Engineering, and Media departments given the total annual budget is 100000000. 2. **Identify the percentages:** Sales = 17%, Engineering = 16%, Media = 7%. 3. **Formula:** To find the budget for each department, use $$\text{Budget} = \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100} \times \text{Total Budget}$$ 4. **Calculate combined percentage:** $$17 + 16 + 7 = 40\%$$ 5. **Calculate combined budget:** $$\frac{40}{100} \times 100000000 = 0.4 \times 100000000$$ 6. **Simplify:** $$0.4 \times 100000000 = 40000000$$ 7. **Answer:** The combined budget for Sales, Engineering, and Media is 40000000.
