Children's books cover the most shelf space in the store.

Mysteries = 3/10
Travel = 25%
children = 7/20

Based on the problem, the total number of shelves in the bookstore is 20.
Therefore:

Mysteries = 3 / 10 * 20 = 6 shelves
Travel = 25% * 20 = 5 shelves
Children = 7/20 * 20 = 7 shelves

Total shelves occupied by the three types of stories is 18.

Children's books cover the most shelf space in the store.
