Charlotte is redecorating the master bedroom in her house. She has already purchased a new bedroom set and also plans to paint the room and put in new flooring. The new bedroom set she purchased includes a queen-sized bed, one nightstand, and a dresser. The bed cost $558.49, and the cost of the dresser represented of the total amount Charlotte spent on furniture.

For the flooring, Charlotte has decided to put new carpet in the bedroom. She has calculated that the carpet itself will cost $427.35, and the labor to install the carpet will cost $212.52. There is also a $75 fee covering the cost of other flooring supplies, tools, and materials.

What percent of the total furniture cost did Charlotte spend on the nightstand? Round your answer to the nearest percent.

Respuesta :

Unfortunately though, we are not given with the amount she spent for one nightstand and also for the total cost of all the furniture. However, to illustrate, for example we have x as the cost of the nightstand and y as the total cost of all the furnitures, we just have to divide x by y and multiply the quotient by 100%. Mathematically,
                                   (x/y)(100%)

she spent $893.59 on all the furniture
