Suppose a charity received a donation of

Question

$22.2
million. If this represents
29%
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

We can start by setting up a proportion:

$22.2\text{ million} = 0.29x$

where $x$ is the total amount of donated funds. To solve for $x$, we can divide both sides by 0.29:

$x = \frac{22.2}{0.29} = 76.552\text{ million}$

Rounding to the nearest million gives us:

$x \approx \boxed{77\text{ million}}$
