Question

A company donates 1% of every customer purchase made on their store credit card to charity. This company had one store location that donated a total of $19,932.81 to charity from last month's credit card purchases.

What was the approximate total amount of the customer store credit card purchases from last month at this location?

Answer 1

so since 19,932.81=1% of all earnings then
1%=1/100
so if we multiply 1% by 100 then we get the answer so
19,932.81 times 100=1,993,281
