Suppose a charity received a donation of $14.6 million. If this represents 21% of the charity's donated funds, what is the total amount of its donated funds?

Round your answer to the nearest million dollars

To determine the total amount of donated funds, we can set up a proportion based on the fact that $14.6 million represents 21% of the total funds.

Let $ x $ represent the total amount of the charity's donated funds. Then, according to the problem:

\[
14.6 = 0.21 \times x
\]

To solve for $ x $, divide both sides by 0.21:

\[
x = \frac{14.6}{0.21}
\]

Now, calculate:

\[
x \approx 69.52
\]

Rounding to the nearest million, the total amount of donated funds is approximately **70 million dollars**.
