Answer:
644,262 copies
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a proportion problem, and we are given three values and one variable which is the total number of copies sold to date (x). Then we can use the Rule of Three to solve this problem. To do this we simply multiply the diagonal values and divide by the last value which would give us the value of the variable x
39,300 copies <======> 6.1%
x copies <=======> 100%
(100*39,300) / 6.1 = 644,262 copies
Therefore, a total of 644,262 copies have been sold to date.
We know that
(ad)/(bd)=d/d time a/b=a/b since d's cancel
also
if a/b=c/d in simplest form, then a=c and b=d
we have
p/(x^2-5x+6)=(x+4)/(x-2)
therefor
p/(x^2-5x+6)=d/d times (x+4)/(x-2)
p/(x^2-5x+6)=d(x+4)/d(x-2)
therefor
p=d(x+4) and
x^2-5x+6=d(x-2)
we can solve last one
factor
(x-6)(x+1)=d(x-2)
divide both sides by (x-2)
[(x-6)(x+1)]/(x-2)=d
sub
p=d(x+4)
p=([(x-6)(x+1)]/(x-2))(x+4)
The answer is 1.12% decrease
Explanation in image
well the quotient means the answer to a division, so in this case:
18 ÷ 1000 = 0.018
I have to make twenty characters, but the answer is 1/n
