Question

60% of the books on a bookshelf are english books. If there are 35 english books on the bookshelf, find the number of the books in the book shelf

Answer 1

Answer: 58 books

Explanation:

There are 35 English books on the shelf and this constitutes 60% of the total number of books on the shelf.

Denoting the total number as x, the total number is:

35 = 60% * x

x = 35 / 60%

= 58 books
