Question

A book sold 36,500 copies in its first month of release. suppose this represents 8.4% of the number of copies sold to date. How many copies have been sold to date?

Answer 1

Answer: 434,524

Step-by-step explanation:

We know 36,500 is 8.4% of the total. To find 100%, we must divide 36500 by 8.4 to find 1% which is 4345.238...

To get from 1% to 100%, we must multiply our answer by 100 to get 434523.8 which we can then round to the nearest whole number 434524
