Answer:

11331 non fiction books

Explanation:

Given :

Total books = 67982

Childrens section = 1/3 of total

Number of children's books :

(1/3 * 67982) = 22660 books (approximately)

Books left :

67982 - 22660 = 45,322 books

Fiction books:

75% of remaining

0.75 * 45322

33991.5

= 33991 books

If the only section left is non - fiction, then

Non - fiction books = (45322 - 33991) = 11331
