Answer 1

Answer  

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

$Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times100}{Total\ value}$

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

$25 = \frac{x\times100}{1200}$

$x = \frac{25\times1200}{100}$

$x = \frac{30000}{100}$

x = 300

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