Question

A book sold 35,300 copies in its first month of release. Suppose this represents 6.3 of the numbers sold to date. How many copies have been sold to date?

Answer 1

560,317.460

Explanation:

The computation of copies that have been sold is shown below:-

we assume the number of copies is x

So, the number of copies in the first month is

=
`(6.3)/(100) x`

As per the situation the number of sold copies is 35,300 so the equation will be

`(6.3)/(100) x = 35,300`

`6.3x = 35,300* 100`

`x = (35,300* 100)/(6.3)`

after solving the above equation we will get the number of copied that have been sold to date

= 560,317.460
