For this problem you can create a proportion.
Since 31,100 copies is 7.8% of the total copies spoke up to date you can make this proportion:
31,100. 7.8%
——— =. ———
x. 100%
Now you cross multiply and you will get
7.8x=3,110,000
After this you solve for x by isolating the variable.
7.8x/7.8. 3,110,000/7.8
x=398,717.949
Since the question asks you to round to the nearest whole number which is 7 then the final answer would be 398,718
Answer: There has been 398,718 copies sold to date.

An observer (O) is located 500 feet from a school (S). The observer notices a bird (B) flying at a 39° angle of elevation from h
Serhud [2]

Answer:

h=404.89

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for side h, which is opposite of the observer. We know that the side adjacent to the observer is 500 feet. We also know that the angle from the observer to the bird is 39°. Because we have these values, SOH CAH TOA tells us that we should use tangent, opposite over adjacent.

We can set up our equation as follows:

tan(39°)=h/500

We can then solve for h:

500*tan(39°)=h

h=404.89
