A clothing store manager is comparing weekend sales to sales over the entire week. The store sold $7200 worth of clothes over the weekend.

Question

The store made $12,000 that week in all. What percent of the sales was made over the weekend?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of sales made over the weekend, we first need to calculate what portion of the total sales $7200 represents.

Percentage = (Weekend sales / Total sales) x 100
Percentage = ($7200 / $12,000) x 100
Percentage = 0.6 x 100
Percentage = 60%

Therefore, 60% of the sales were made over the weekend.
