Answer 1

Answer: 6% of $9800 was donated to hospitals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A home decor store donated a percent of every sale to hospitals.

Donated amount to the hospitals= $588

Now , the percentage of the total sales was donated to hospitals :-

$\dfrac{\text{Amount donated to hospitals}}{\text{Total sales}}\times100$

$=\dfrac{588}{9800}\times100=6\%$

Hence, 6% of $9800 was donated to hospitals.
