Question

A book sold 32100 copies in its first month of release. Suppose this represents 6.2% of the number of copies sold to date. How many copies have sold to date.

Answer 1

1900 copies sold to date

Explanation:

you need to find the value of 6.2% of 32100

To do this:

6.2 ÷ 100

= 0.062

0.062 x 32100

= 1990.2

However, it's not possible to have .2 of a copy, so your round down

The answer is 1900 copies.

Hope it helped :)
