Question

A bookstore has 60 books about math this is 0.05% of the total number of books on the shelves how many books are there in the bookstore that are not about math

Answer 1

119,940 books are not about math.

What I did:

60x2000=120,000

120,000-60=119,940

Answer 2

119940

Explanation:

.05 % are about math

b= books

b * .05% = 60

Change to decimal form

b * .0005 = 60

Divide each side by .0005

b = 60/.0005

b =120000 books in the store

we want the ones not about math

120000-60

119940
