Question

My favorite songstress gives away 25 percent of the sales of her signature fragrance collection to her charity. Last month her sales were 1200. How much of her total sales did she donate

Answer 1

Find out the how much of her total sales did she donate .

To prove

Let us assume that the songstress gives away of the sales of her signature fragrance collection to her charity be x.

Formula

`Percentage = (Part\ value*100)/(Total\ value)`

As given

songstress gives away 25 percent of the sales of her signature fragrance collection to her charity.

Last month her sales were 1200.

Thus

Percentage = 25 %

Total value = 1200

Put in the formula

`25 = (x*100)/(1200)`

`x = (25*1200)/(100)`

`x = (30000)/(100)`

x = 300

Therefore songstress gives away of the sales of her signature fragrance collection to her charity be 300 .
