Question

Natalie bought a sofa through an interest free payment plan. The sofa was $3500 and her payments were $875 each. What percent of the total cost are the payments?

Answer 1

25%

Explanation:

If the total is $3500 and each payment is $875, the percent of the total is found by dividing the payment by the total.

875/3500 = 0.25

0.25(100) = 25%
