Question

Suppose a charity received a donation of $19.4 million. If this represents 43% of the charity's donated funds, what is the total amount of its donated funds? Round your answer to the nearest million dollars.

Answer 1

Given :

a charity received a donation of $19.4 million

Which represents 43% of the charity funds

Let the total funds = x

So,

43% of x = 19.4 million

So,

`\begin{gathered} 43\%\cdot x=19.4 \\ \\ 0.43\cdot x=19.4 \\ \\ x=(19.4)/(0.43)\approx45.12 \end{gathered}`

Rounding to the nearest million ,

The answer is : total donated funds = 45 million
