Hi there! So 39,300 copies of a book were sold on debut month of release, and that represents 6.3% of all copies sold to date. To find the total amount of copies sold, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:
39,300/x = 6.3/100
We set it up like this because 39,300 is part of the total amount, and it represents 6.3% of the total book sales. Percents are parts of 100, which is why 6.3 is above 100. Let's cross multiply the values. 39,300 * 100 is 3,930,000. 6.3 * x is 6.3x. that makes 3,930,000 = 6.3x. Divide each side by 6.3 to isolate the x. 6.3x/6.3 cancels out. 3,930,000/6.3 is 623,809.5238 or 623,810 when rounded to the nearest whole number. There. The total amount of copies sold to date is about 623,810.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
@ = pi/3 (or 60 degrees) or @ = 7 pi/3 (or 420 degrees)
Discussion:
Let "@' denote the angle "theta". We are asked to find @ in the interval [0, 4 pi)
where
4cos(@) - 2 = 0. Adding 2 to both sides
4 cos(@) - 2 +2 = 2 =>
4 cos(@) = 2 Divide both sides by 4
cos(@) = 2/4 = 0.5
This implies that @ = pi/3 (or 60 degrees) or @ = (pi/3 + 2pi) = 7 pi/3 (or 420 degrees)
Thank you,
MrB
Step-by-step explanation:
2(3x-5)=5x-3
6x -10 =5x -3
x=7
-0.4x=2.5 divide both sides by -0.4
x=-6.25
