Sagot :

The number sold in the first month is given as 33,400.

This number is 7.6 percent of the total copies sold till date. This means x copies have been sold till date, and x copies represents 100 percent.

Therefore, you would have the following proportion;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{33400}{x}=\frac{7.6}{100} \\ \text{Cross multiply and you'll have;} \\ \frac{33400\times100}{7.6}=x \\ 439473.684210\ldots=x \\ x\approx439474\text{ (rounded to the nearest whole number)} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The number of copies sold till date is 439,474 (rounded to the nearest whole number)
