To find the total number of copies, divide the number sold by the percentage sold:


8.1% = 0.081


32,100 / 0.081 = 396,296


Double check by multiplying the answer by 8.1%:


396,296 x 0.081 = 32099.9 = 32,100



Total sold = 396,296

We can write an equation from this question:
[tex] \frac{32100}{8.1} = \frac{x}{100} [/tex]
Set the denominators equal:
[tex] \frac{396296.296296296}{100} = \frac{x}{100} \\ \\ x = 396296[/tex]
