Answer:
The number of subscribers of the third ranked magazine is 981308
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Number of digital subscribers = 2.1 million
Percentage increment = 1140%
Let x represent the number of subscribers the third ranked magazine has
The relationship between the number of subscribers of the top ranked and third ranked magazine is defined as follows;
<em>2.1 million = x + 1140% of x</em>
Convert to digits only
2,100,000 = x + 1140% * x ------- By reordering
x + 1140% * x = 2,100,000
x + 1140/100 * x = 2,100,000
x + 1.14 * x = 2,100,000 ----- Factorize
x(1 + 1.14) = 2,100,000
x (2.14) = 2,100,000 ----- Divide through by 2.14
x = 2,100,000/2.14
x = 981308.411215 ----- Approximate
x = 981308
<em>Hence, the number of subscribers of the third ranked magazine is 981308</em>
