Question

After selling 85 copies of a book for every 100 copies printed, a publisher finds that 45 copies are left unsold.How many copies were printed​

Answer 1

Answer:

300 copies.

Step-by-step explanation:

85 copies are sold for every printing of 100 copies.

Hence, 15 copies are left for every printing of 100 copies.

If 45 copies are left unsold, number of printed copies => 100x3 = 300 copies.

Answer 2

Answer:

If 84 copies sold

then 15 left

and 45 copies left

then number of copies printed =100x3=300
