Answer 2

Answer:

2% of the sales were donated to charity.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percentage of the total sales that was donated to charity, we just need to divide the amount that was donated to charity (that is, $148) by the total amount of home decor store sales (that is, $7,400):

Percentage of value donated = 148 / 7400 = 0.02 = 2%

So, we have that 2% of the sales were donated to charity.
