35%of the number of books Vick owns are fiction books.if Vick has 70 fiction books,find:
A) the total numbe of books he owns.
B) the number of non-fiction books he owns
Let n = Total number of Books
0.35n = 70
n = 70/0.35
n = 200
Total number of books is 200.
-----------
Answer to B
200 - 70
= 130 non fiction books
Let n = total number of books
0.35n = 70
n = 70/0.35
n = 200
To find the total number of books Vick owns, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Let's assume the total number of books Vick owns is "x".
Step 2: It is given that 35% of the number of books Vick owns are fiction books. So, we can set up the following equation:
0.35x = 70
Step 3: Solve the equation for "x" by dividing both sides by 0.35:
x = 70 / 0.35
x = 200
Therefore, Vick owns a total of 200 books.
To find the number of non-fiction books Vick owns, we can subtract the number of fiction books from the total number of books:
Non-fiction books = Total books - Fiction books
Non-fiction books = 200 - 70
Non-fiction books = 130
Therefore, Vick owns 130 non-fiction books.
