Question

Suppose a charity received a donation of $27.3 million. If this represents 27% of the charity's donated funds, what is the total amount of its donated funds?

Answer 1

• $101.11 million

----------------

We know that the $27.3 million represents 27% of the donated funds.

Let's call the total donated funds x.

27% of x is $27.3 million, then the value of x is:

• 0.27x = 27.3 million
• x = 27.3 million / 27
• x = 101.11 million

Therefore, the total amount of the charity's donated funds is $101.11 million.
