Question

A book sold 33,700 copies in its first month of release. Suppose this represents 9.3% 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

Answer: 362,365 copies

Step-by-step explanation: Using proportions, I set it up like 33700/? (total copies)= 9.3/100. I multiplied 33700 and 100 to get 3370000 and divided by 9.3 and rounded.
