Question

paolo read 40 books in one year 35% of the books paolo read were non fiction. how many nonfiction and fiction books did he read?

Answer 1

Paolo reads in total 26 fiction and 14 non- fiction books.

Explanation:

Here, the total number of books read by Paolo = 40 books

The percentage of non-fiction books read = 35%

Now, 35% of total books read = 35% of 40

⇒
`(35)/(100) * 40 = 14`

So, the number of non -fiction books read by Paolo = 14

Now, the number of fiction booosk read

= Total books read - Non- Fiction books read

= 40 - 14 = 26

So, the number of fiction books read by Paolo = 26

Hence, Paolo reads in total 26 fiction and 14 non- fiction books.
