Question

A person who had $1,000,000 gave $100 to charity. How much must a student who has $100 give to charity to give proportionally the same as the millionaire?

Answer 1

(100 / 1,000,000) × 100% = 0.01%

x = amount of money the student has to give.

(x / 100) × 100% = 0.01%

We can cancel out the 100's

x = $0.01

The student would have to give $0.01 or 1 cent
