Calculating Share of Total Sales
To solve this, you need to divide the amount of sales you were responsible for by the total sales of the company.
Your sales: R200,000.00
Total sales: R800,000.00
Fraction of the total sales:
\( \frac{\text{Your sales}}{\text{Total sales}} = \frac{R200,000.00}{R800,000.00} = \frac{200,000}{800,000} \)
To simplify the fraction, divide both the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) by 200,000:
\( \frac{200,000}{800,000} = \frac{200,000 \div 200,000}{800,000 \div 200,000} = \frac{1}{4} \)
So, your share of the total sales was 1/4 or 25%.
