A book sold 33,100 copies in its first month of release. Suppose this represents 7.8% of the number of copies sold to date. How many copies have been sold to date?
Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Respuesta :

33100 = 7.8% of total
33100 = .078 x total (change from percent to decimal)
33100/.078 = total (divide both sides by decimal)

424358.9 = total

Round to 424,359 copies.
