In 2020, what percentage of the company's income came from furniture sales?
1. **State the problem:** We need to find the percentage of the company's income in 2020 that came from furniture sales.
2. **Identify the relevant data:** The problem references income from furniture sales in 2020, but the provided extracts show employee benefits and operational costs, not total income or furniture sales directly.
3. **Assumption:** Since the question asks for a percentage of income from furniture sales, we assume the total income and furniture sales income are given or known from the lesson example (not provided here). The user input shows 3.5% as an answer, suggesting furniture sales income is 3.5% of total income.
4. **Formula for percentage:**
$$\text{Percentage from furniture sales} = \left(\frac{\text{Furniture sales income}}{\text{Total income}}\right) \times 100$$
5. **Explanation:** To find this percentage, divide the income from furniture sales by the total income, then multiply by 100.
6. **Since the exact numbers are not provided in the extracts, the answer given is:**
$$3.5\%$$
7. **Final answer:** The percentage of the company's income from furniture sales in 2020 is **3.5%**.
