Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of copies sold till date are 381522.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question the book sold 35100 copies in its first month of release and this number is 9.2% of the number of copies sold till date.

To find is how many copies have been sold.

Let the total number of copies sold be = A

Therefore 9.2% × A = 35100

$\frac{9.2}{100}A=35100$

$A=\frac{35100\times 100}{9.2}$

A = 381521.74 ≅381522 copies
