Etsy sells framed pictures to hotels and other corporations across the country. Last year, Etsy sold 920,897 pictures. That is 6% fewer than they sold in 2021. How many pictures did they sell in 2021?

Answer 1

Answer: According to the information you provided, Etsy sold 920,897 framed pictures last year. This number is 6% fewer than the number of pictures they sold in 2021 1.

Let’s assume that the number of pictures sold in 2021 is x. Then, the number of pictures sold last year is 0.94x (since it’s 6% fewer). We can set up an equation to solve for x:

0.94x = 920,897

x = 980,303

Therefore, Etsy sold approximately 980,303 framed pictures in 2021.
