Answer:
107
%
3
%
100
/8
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, we need to get it on one side by itself, and then to make sure we are left with ONLY x, no coefficients or anything.
-2x -3 > 97.
Add 3 to both sides.
-2x > 100.
Divide both sides by -2 (remember to flip the inequality when dealing with negatives).
x < -50
I hope this helps!
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.
Scientific notation, also called pattern or notation in exponential form, is a way of writing numbers that accommodate values too large (100000000000) or small (0.00000000001) to be written in a conventional manner.
The use of this notation is based on powers of 104
Example:
Big numbers:

Small numbers:

However, in areas such as physics and chemistry, scientific notation is important to make approximations such as:
mass of a proton
mass of an electron and others.
you would dived the numerator by the denominator 1.22 divided by =0.244
