Answer: 4%

Step by Step Explanation

First you are going to divide 700 by 7 to get 100.

100 Will be the Percentage in this situation to make it easier.

You will then divide 672 by 7 as well to make it fair.

The answer to 672 divided by 7 equals 96

So now you have 96/100%

But you want how much he sold, not how much he had left.

So you want to subtract 96 from 100 to get 4.

4% is the amount that Tim sold that summer.
