Ok so you would divide 39,900 by 7.1% to get the final answer
39,900/.071 = 561,971.830985915493
Since you can’t have .830985915493 of a book, you would round up to get the final answer to be
561,972 books
Hope this helps!
The book sold 39,900 copies which is 7.1% of the total copies sold
The total copies sold is 561,972 copies
Given:
Copies sold first month = 39,900
Percentage of copies sold first month = 7.1%
let
Total copies sold = x
So,
7.1% of x = 39,900
7.1/100 × x = 39,900
0.071 × x = 39900
0.071x = 39900
x = 39900 ÷ 0.071
x = 561971.83098591
To the nearest whole number
x = 561,972 copies
Therefore, the total copies sold is 561,972 copies
