Answer + step-by-step explanation:

I am very unsure what your question is, but the simple tip is to divide it by two each year as it is decreasing by a half..

To find the number of copies sold in subsequent years, you can use the formula:

N = N0 * (1/2)^t

where N is the number of copies sold in a given year, N0 is the initial number of copies sold (in this case, 600,000), t is the number of years since the book was released.

For example, to find the number of copies sold in the second year after the book was released:

N = 600,000 * (1/2)^1

N = 300,000

So, 300,000 copies were sold in the second year. To find the number of copies sold in subsequent years, you can continue to plug in values of t and solve for N.
