Answer:

520,896 copies have been sold to date

Explanation:

We know that in one month it sold 34,900 books, which represents 6.7%

To know how much is 100% we have to divide this number by 6.7 and then multiply it by 100

34,900 / 6.7 = 5208.9552

5208.955 * 100 = 520,895.52

if we round to the nearest whole number

520,895.52 = 520,896

520,896 copies have been sold to date
