<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
Of the $371 billion donated in total, 15% went to educational organizations, hence the amount is given by:
A = 0.15 x 371 = $55.7 billion.
Hence $55.7 billion was donated to educational organizations.
