Question

My favorite songstress gives away 25% of the sales of her signature fragrance collection to her charity. Last month her sales was $ 1,200. How much of her total sales did she donate?

Answer 1

Since she donates 25%, take 25% and multiply it by 1,200

$.25 * 1,200 = 300$

or,

$\frac{1}{4} * 1,200 = 300$
