Question

14. A shipping and handling fee of $35.00 ischarged on all furniture orders over $250. Ifthe order is $437.50, what percent is theshipping and handling fee?

Answer 1

The shipping and handling fee is 8% of the order.

To find the percent, we can use the formula:percent = (part / whole) * 100

In this case, the part is the shipping and handling fee ($35.00) and the whole is the order ($437.50).

So we have:

percent = (35 / 437.5) * 100 percent = 0.08 * 100 percent = 8

Therefore, the shipping and handling fee is 8% of the order.
