Question

Suppose a charity received a donation of 15.2 million. If this represents 34% 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

45 million dollars (44.706...)

Explanation:

15.2 ÷ 0.34 = 44.706

To check our answer:

44.706 × 0.34 = 15.2

Answer 2

45 million

Explanation:

Let
`x` be the total amount of its donated funds. We can set up the following equation:

`0.34x=15.2\:[\text{million}]`

Solving for
`x`, we get:

`x=\frac{15.2\:[\text{million}]}{0.34},\\x=44.7\:\text{million}\approx \boxed{45\:\text{million}}`
