Answer: the shipping and handling fee is 8 percent of the cost of the order.
Step-by-step explanation:
Shipping and handling fee of $35 is charged to all furniture orders over $250.
If the order is $437.50, it means that there would be a handing and shipping fee of $35 because the price of the order is above $250.
The percentage of the original price of the order that is the shipping and handling fee would be
35/437.5 × 100 = 0.08 × 100
= 8%
