Question

Steph has nine mystery books on his bookshelf. this represents 30% of the books that Steph has on his bookshelf. how many total books does Steph have.

Answer 1

From the situation, we are given that,

a.) Steph has nine (9) mystery books.

b.) The number of mystery books is only 30% of the books that Steph has.

To solve for the total books that Steph have, we generate this equation,

`\text{ Total number of Books = }\frac{No.\text{ of Mystery Books}}{\text{Percetage equivalent of the Mystery Books}}\text{ x 100\%}`

Thus, we get,

`\text{Total number of Books = }\frac{9}{30(\text{\%)}}\text{ x 100(\%)}`
