Answer 1

112

Explanation:

According to the circle graph, the mystery books make up 20% of all books sold. So, we can calculate the number of mystery books sold as follows:

Number of mystery books = 20% of 560

= (20/100) x 560

= 112

Therefore, the number of mystery books sold at the book fair was 112.
