Question

suppose a charity received a donation of 15.2 million. if this represents 56% of the charity's donation funds, what is the total amount of it's donated funds? round answer to nearest million dollars

Answer 1

27 million

Explanation:

create the equation

`(15200000)/(x) =(56)/(100)`, where x is equivalent to the total amount of donation funds

solve the equation by cross multiplying

`x=2714285 (5)/(7)`,

this can be simplified to 27 million

Answer 2

27 million dollars

Explanation:

Let x be the total amount of the charity's donated funds. We know that the donation of 15.2 million represents 56% of x.

We can set up the following equation to solve for x:

15.2 million = 0.56x

Dividing both sides by 0.56, we get:

x = 15.2 million / 0.56 = 27.14 million

Therefore, the total amount of the charity's donated funds is approximately 27 million dollars.
