Question

Jenny has read 193 books from the library

cookbook section. If this is 64% of the cookbook
section, how many books are in the entire
cookbook section?
A. 240
B. 300
C. 160
D. 64

Answer 1

B. 300

Explanation:

Let's take the entire number as 'x'

according to the question,

x * 64% = 193

x * 64/100 = 193

x * 64 = 193 * 100

x = 19300/ 64

x = 301.5

round down to 300
