Answer 1

Given

Number of books having no damage is 650, number of books having minor damage is 83 and number of books having major damage is 34.

To find: How many books have minor damage in 88500 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Number of books having no damage is 650.

Number of books having minor damage is 83.

Number of books having major damage is 34.

Then, the number of books having minor damage in 88500 books is,

`\begin{gathered} Number\text{ of books having minor damage}=(88500*83)/(650) \\ =(1770*83)/(13) \\ =(146910)/(13) \\ =11300.769 \end{gathered}`

Since the number iin the tenth place of the decimal is greater than 5.

Then, add 1 to the digit before the decimal.

That implies,

`Number\text{ of books having minor damage}=113001`

Final result: Hence, the number of books having minor damage is 113001.
