Answer:

20 days

Explanation:

Number of books sold each day for 40 days :

The first quartile (Q1) = 2

For the 25% of the days = 2 books were sold

Hence 0.25 * 40 = 10 days, 2 books or less were sold

The upper quartile (Q3) = 12 books

For up to 75% of the days = 0.75 * 40 = 30 days ; 12 books or less were sold

To obtain the number of books sold between 2 and 12 ; we subtract :

(30 days - 10 days) = 20 days
