Question

supposed charity received a donation of 24.1 million dollars if this represents 37% of the Charities donated funds what is the total amount of its funds round your answer to the nearest million dollars.

Answer 1

Given,

24.1 million dollars = 37% of total

We let "x" be the total. So we can say:

37% of x is 24,100,000

We can translate this into an equation [of means multiplication and is means equals]:

`\begin{gathered} 0.37\cdot x=24,100,000 \\ \end{gathered}`

Note: 37% is 37/100 = 0.37

Now,

We solve this equation for x [total amount]:

`\begin{gathered} 0.37\cdot x=24100000 \\ x=(24100000)/(0.37) \\ x=65135135.1351 \end{gathered}`

That is:

65,135,135.1351

Rounded to nearest million:

65,000,000 [65 million]
