Calculation:
Let the amount of money made by the restaurant is x.
The proportion can be written as:

\frac{545}{110} = \frac{x}{53}

The ratios can be simplified further by doing cross product:

\frac{545}{110} = \frac{x}{53}

545 (53) = 110 (x)

110 x = 28885

\frac{110 x}{110} = \frac{28885}{110}

x = 262.590

x \approx 262 b u r \geq r s
