A company donated 200 books to a local library. If 70 of them are fiction, what percent of the donated books are fiction.
35% is the answer
There are130 books that are non-fiction.
To find the percentage of donated books that are fiction, we need to calculate the fraction of books that are fiction and then convert it to a percentage.
First, let's calculate the fraction of books that are fiction. We know that there are 70 fiction books out of a total donation of 200 books.
Fraction of fiction books = Number of fiction books / Total number of books
= 70 / 200
Now let's convert this fraction to a percentage.
Percentage of fiction books = Fraction of fiction books * 100
= (70 / 200) * 100
Simplifying the above expression, we have:
Percentage of fiction books = 0.35 * 100
= 35%
Therefore, 35% of the donated books are fiction.
