Question 238093: I have 8 stores who have to share the cost of supplies. Their cost is based on their production. The cost of the supply is $207.00.
Store 1 production is 1,368
Store 2 production is 2,130
Store 3 production is 5897
Store 4 production is 5,400
Store 5 prod is 4,438
Store 6 prod is 5,916
Store 7 prod is 5,880
Store 8 prod is 5,944
How do I figure the percentage that each store should pay of the $207.00 cost of the supply
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
