Suppose a charity received a donation of $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.
To find the total amount of donated funds, we need to divide the donation by the percentage that it represents:
Total donated funds = Donation ÷ Percentage
Total donated funds = $22.2 million ÷ 0.29
Total donated funds = $76.552 million
Rounding to the nearest million dollars, the total amount of donated funds is $77 million.
An international company has 11,800 employees in one country. If this represents 33.3% of the company's employees, how many employees does it have in total?
Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
To find the total number of employees in the company, we need to divide the number of employees in one country by the percentage it represents and then multiply by 100:
Total company employees = (Employees in one country ÷ Percentage) x 100
Total company employees = (11,800 ÷ 0.333) x 100
Total company employees = 35,435.435
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the company has a total of 35,435 employees.
To find the total amount of the charity's donated funds, we can set up an equation:
Let x be the total amount of the charity's donated funds.
We know that 29% of the total donated funds is equal to $22.2 million. So we can write the equation:
0.29x = 22.2
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 0.29:
x = 22.2 / 0.29
x ≈ 76.5517
Rounding to the nearest million dollars, the total amount of the charity's donated funds is approximately $77 million.
