For this case we propose a rule of three:

31700 ------------> 8.8%

x ----------------------> 100%

Where "x" represents the number of copies sold to date.

[tex]x = \frac {100 * 31700} {8.8}\\x = \frac {3170000} {8.8}\\x = 360,227.273[/tex]

Thus, to date 360,227 copies of the book have been sold.

ANswer:

To date, 360,227 copies of the book have been sold.
