Question

A book sold 35,500 copies in its first month of release. Suppose this represents 9.9% of the number of copies sold to date. How many copies have been sold to date?

Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

358,586 books

because:
35,500=9.9%

9.9%(10.1010101)=100%
^ we know this because 100/9.9=10.1010101

so to keep the ratio 35,500 must also be multiplied by 10.1010101

35,500(10.1010101)=358,585.859 round to nearest whole number so its 358,586
