A church building fund has $3.2 million in it, which is 60% of the amount necessary for the project. What is the total amount needed for the building? Round to the next higher tenth of a million.

$5.4 Million

Step-by-step explanation:

3.2 mill/x = 60/100

3.2 mill x 100 = 60x

320 mill = 60x

x = 5.3333 million, rounded up to 5.4 million

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
