Question

Suppose a charity received a donation of 29.9 million. If this represents 43% of the charity's donated funds, what is the total amount of its donated funds?

Answer 1

Let x be the total amount of donated funds for the charity.

According to the problem, we know that 29.9 million represents 43% of the donated funds. In other words:

0.43x = 29.9 million

To find x, we can solve for it by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.43:

x = 29.9 million / 0.43

x = 69.53 million

Therefore, the total amount of donated funds for the charity is 69.53 million.
