Answer:
Part 1) 53%
Part 2) 44%
Part 3) The record label sold a higher percentage of album 1 as digital downloads than album 2
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the total sales of each album
Album 1:
[tex]540+470=1010[/tex]
Album 2:
[tex]571+452=1023[/tex]
Part 1)
In order to find the percentage of copies of album 1 sold as CDs, we need to create a fraction with the number of CD sales over the total number of sales
[tex]\frac{540}{1010} =0.534\\\\0.534*100=53.4\\\\53[/tex]
Part 2)
We must now do the same thing with the number of digital downloads for album 2
[tex]\frac{452}{1023} =0.441\\\\0.441*100=44.1\\\\44[/tex]
Part 3)
We can now do this again with the number of digital downloads for album 1 and compare it to the answer in Part 2
[tex]\frac{470}{1010} =0.465\\\\0.456*100=46.5\\\\47[/tex]
As the % for album 1 is 47% while the % for album 2 is 44%, album 1 sold a higher percentage of digital downloads than album 2
