Question

A book sold 31,500 copies in its first month of release. Suppose this represents 8.9% of the number of copies sold to date. How many copies have been sold to date? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer:

35,393,258

Step-by-step explanation

$\frac{31,500}{x} =\frac{0.089}{100}$

$0.089x=3,150,000$

$x= 35,393,258.427$

Rounded to the nearest whole number, that is 35,393,258.
