    Step-by-step explanation:

    let the total = y

    8.6% of y=34,600

    8.6/100*y=34,600

    86/1000*y = 34,600

    cross multiply

    86y=34,600*1000

    y=34,600,000/86

    y=402,325.581

    to the nearest unit

    y=402,326 sold.

    Answer:402325.6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let a be the total sales till date

    8.6% of a=34600

    8.6/100 x a=34600

    0.086 x a=34600

    divide both sides by 0.086

    (0.086 x a) / 0.086=34600/0.086

    a=402325.6
