| Why is "an", the indefinite article, used in the sentence? It refers to a lural noun, doesn't it? |

| It refers to 70 milion/30 milion which is in singular. |

| We can substitue 70/30 millions with "this number". So it's singular. In the same way we say *10 miles is (not are) a long way. Because we can replace 10 moles by this distance. I hope this makes sense for you. |
