A book sold
32,400
copies in its first month of release. Suppose this represents
6.9%
of the number of copies sold to date. How many copies have been sold to date?
Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
We can start by setting up a proportion:
32,400 / x = 0.069
where x is the total number of copies sold to date. To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
32,400 = 0.069x
x = 32,400 / 0.069
x ≈ 469,565
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the total number of copies sold to date is 469,565.
What is that number rounded to the nearest whole number?
The number rounded to the nearest whole number is 469,565 which rounds to 469,566.
Suppose a charity received a donation of million. If this represents of the charity's donated funds, what is the total amount of its donated funds?
Round your answer to the nearest million dollars.
We can use a proportion to solve for the total amount of donated funds:
1 million / x = 0.28
where x is the total amount of donated funds. To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
x = 1 million / 0.28
x ≈ 3,571,429
Rounded to the nearest million dollars, the total amount of donated funds is $3 million.
To find out how many copies have been sold to date, we can set up a proportion relationship using the information provided.
Let's call the total number of copies sold to date as "x".
The proportion can be set up as:
32,400 / x = 6.9 / 100
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:
32,400 * 100 = x * 6.9
3,240,000 = 6.9x
Divide both sides of the equation by 6.9:
3,240,000 / 6.9 = x
x ≈ 469,565.2
Rounding this to the nearest whole number, we have:
x ≈ 469,565
Therefore, approximately 469,565 copies have been sold to date.
To find out how many copies have been sold to date, we need to set up a proportion using the given information.
Let "x" represent the total number of copies sold to date:
32,400 is 6.9% of x.
We can express this as the equation: (32,400 / x) = (6.9 / 100)
To solve for "x", we can cross-multiply the fractions:
32,400 * 100 = 6.9 * x
Now we can find the value of "x":
3,240,000 = 6.9 * x
Divide both sides of the equation by 6.9:
3,240,000 / 6.9 = x
Round the answer to the nearest whole number:
x ≈ 469,565
Therefore, approximately 469,565 copies have been sold to date.
