What is the percentage?

The quantity of anything is stated as though it were a fraction of a hundred.

A book sold 38,800 copies in its first month of release.

Suppose this represents 7.4% of the number of copies sold to date.

Let n be the number of copies sold to date.

Then the number of copies sold to date will be

 7.4% = 38800 / n x 100

0.074 = 38800 / n

       n = 38800 / 0.074

       n = 524,324.32

       n ≅ 524,324
