A book sold 33,100 copies in its first month of release suppose this represents 8.6% of the numbers of copies sold to date how many copies have been sold to date round your nearest nearest whole number
To find the total number of copies sold to date, we can divide the number of copies sold in the first month by the percentage it represents:
Total copies sold to date = Number of copies sold in the first month / Percentage represented
Total copies sold to date = 33,100 / 0.086
Total copies sold to date ≈ 384,883.72
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the total number of copies sold to date is 384,884.
To find the total number of copies sold to date, we need to divide the number of copies sold in the first month by the percentage it represents, which is 8.6%.
Let's use the formula:
Total number of copies sold to date = Number of copies sold in the first month / Percentage
First, convert the percentage to decimal form by dividing it by 100:
8.6% = 8.6/100 = 0.086
Now, we can calculate the total number of copies sold to date:
Total number of copies sold to date = 33,100 / 0.086 ≈ 384,884
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the approximate number of copies sold to date is 385,000.
