1. **State the problem:** A furniture store donated a certain percent of its total sales to charity. The total sales were 6640 and the donation amount was 332. We need to find what percent of 6640 was donated.
2. **Formula used:** To find the percentage, use the formula:
$$\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\right) \times 100$$
where "Part" is the donation amount and "Whole" is the total sales.
3. **Substitute the values:**
$$\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{332}{6640}\right) \times 100$$
4. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\frac{332}{6640} = \frac{\cancel{332}}{\cancel{6640}} = \frac{1}{20}$$
5. **Calculate the percentage:**
$$\frac{1}{20} \times 100 = 5$$
6. **Answer:** The store donated 5 percent of the total sales to charity.
