Question

A professional athlete earns 1,322,000 a year playing for their team.

Last year, they wrote an autobiography and it sold 381,000 copies at
23.95 each. The deal they made with the publisher earned them 4.3%
on sales of the book.
What was the athlete's total income last year? Hint: their total income
should include their salary PLUS their book royalty.
Answer to the nearest dollar.

Answer 1

381,000x23.95= 9,124,950
4.3% of that = 392,372.85
Plus 1,322,000

$1,714,372.85

Answer 2

1,714,373

Explanation:

381,000(23.95) = 9,124,850

9,124,950(.043) = 392,372.85

1,322,000 + 392,372.85 = 1,714,372.85

round up to nearest dollar ---> 1,714,373
