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.

A train leaves Los Angeles at 2 p.m. heading north at 50 mph. If the next train leaves three hours later and also heads north at
Mamont248 [21]
Since the first train has been travelling for 3 hours, we have the following equations:
d=50t+3*50=50t+150
d=60t

We want to know when they will be equal, so set these equal to eachother:
60t=50t+150
10t=150
t=15

So 15 hours after the second train leaves, they will be at the same distance. This is at 8AM since the second train leaves at 5PM.
