Given data:

The number of copies sold in first month are n=32,700.

Suppose the total number of copies are x.

[tex]\begin{gathered} x\times\frac{7.4}{100}=n \\ x\times\frac{7.4}{100}=32,700 \\ x=441,891.89 \\ \approx441,892 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the total numbers of copies sold are 441,892.
