Answer :

To determine the number of cooking magazine subscriptions that Miller sold, follow these steps:

1. Identify the total number of subscriptions Miller sold. According to the table, Miller sold 3,160 subscriptions.

2. Convert the percentage of cooking magazine subscriptions to a decimal. Since [tex]\(25\%\)[/tex] was given, you convert it to a decimal by dividing 25 by 100, which equals 0.25.

3. Multiply the total number of subscriptions sold by the decimal percentage of cooking magazine subscriptions to get the number of cooking magazine subscriptions.
[tex]\[ 3,160 \times 0.25 \][/tex]

Following these steps, we find:
[tex]\[ 3,160 \times 0.25 = 790 \][/tex]

So, Miller sold 790 subscriptions for cooking magazines.
