Answer:

~6.534653% of randomly selected a book from his bag (I don't know how many decimals you need)

Explanation:

Basically you just do (66 (books) /1010 (total items)) * 100 to find your answer because out of the total 1010 items in that bag there is only 66 that are books so its (66/1010)*100 to find your answer, the *100 is added to find the percentage.
