Answer :

To solve the problem and find the total number of issues sold for the listed magazines, we first need to identify the issues sold for each magazine and then sum these quantities. Below are the steps broken down in detail:

1. Identify the issues sold for each magazine:
- Seventeen: 2.352 million
- YM: 2.242 million
- Teen: 1.729 million
- Teen People: 1.625 million

2. Sum the quantities to find the total issues sold:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Issues Sold} = \text{Seventeen} + \text{YM} + \text{Teen} + \text{Teen People} \][/tex]
Substituting the given values:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Issues Sold} = 2.352 + 2.242 + 1.729 + 1.625 \][/tex]

3. Calculate the total:
Adding these values step-by-step:
- First, add the issues of Seventeen and YM:
[tex]\[ 2.352 + 2.242 = 4.594 \][/tex]
- Then, add the issues of Teen to the previous sum:
[tex]\[ 4.594 + 1.729 = 6.323 \][/tex]
- Finally, add the issues of Teen People to the current total:
[tex]\[ 6.323 + 1.625 = 7.948 \][/tex]

Thus, the detailed step-by-step calculation gives us the total number of issues sold for the listed magazines as approximately 7.948 million.

### Final Results:
- Seventeen: 2.352 million
- YM: 2.242 million
- Teen: 1.729 million
- Teen People: 1.625 million
- Total Issues Sold: 7.948 million
