The correct answer is A. $2,400.00

To calculate the budget on education, let x represent the budget on education

Total budget = $7,200

Expenditure on education = x/$7200 × 3600 = 1200

3600x = 1200 × $7200

x = 1200 × $7200/3600

x = $2,400

Therefore, the budget allocated to education is $2,400
