The total value of the furniture that was sold by Dennis is 3,500 dollars.
What is the percentage?
The amount of something is expressed as if it is a part of the total which is a hundred. The ratio can be expressed as a fraction of 100. The word percent means per 100. It is represented by the symbol ‘%’.
Dennis made an extra $245.00 for selling furniture.
Let the cost of the furniture be x.
Let the total value of the furniture be x + 245.
The extra $245.00 was 7% of the total value of the furniture he sold.
0.07(x + 245) = 245
x+ 245 = 3500
x = 3255
Then the total value of the furniture is (3,255 + 245 =) $3,500.
Hope it helped!
