Question

A book sold 31,100 copies in its first month of release. Suppose this represents 6,6% of the number of copies sold to date. How many cooles have been sold to date? Round your answer to the nearest whole number copies х

Answer 1

Answer: 471,213

Explanation:

6.6% of x is 31,100

6.6%=6.6/100=66/1000

(66/1000)*x= 31,100

x = 31,100/(66/1000) [divide both sides by 66/1000]

x= 471,212.12= 471,213 (round up)
