Answer by Stitch(470) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You were given the cost of the total production. $207.00
The first thing you need to do is add the production of every store together to find the total production.

To find the pecentage that each store should pay, divide their production by the total production and then multiply that by 100
Example for Store 1:
Store 1 production = 1,368
Total prodution = 36,973
Total production cost = $207.00
Store 1 % of cost:
So Store 1 should pay about 3.70% of the $207.00
