Question

* HELP* A book sold 39,900 copies in its first month of release. Suppose this represents 8.2% 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

Total copies sold= 486,585

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of copies sold in the first month= 39,900

% of copies sold in the first month= 8.2%

To calculate the total number of copies sold, we need to use the following formula:

Total copies sold= Number of copies sold in the first month/% of copies sold in the first month

Total copies sold= 39,900 / 0.082

Total copies sold= 486,585
