Question

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.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

What is that number rounded to the nearest whole number?

Answer 3

The number rounded to the nearest whole number is 469,565 which rounds to 469,566.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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.
