Question

A bookstore contains 75972 books,divided in to three sections. The science represents 1/3 of the total books. The remaining books75%are business. How many books are in the math section?

Answer 1

12,662 books

Explanation:

Total number of books = 75,972

No. of science books = ⅓ of 75,972 = ⅓*75,972 = 25,324 books.

No. of business books = 75% of the remaining books = 75% of (75,972 - 25,324)

=
`(75)/(100)*50,648 = 37,986`

No. of business books = 37,986

No. of maths books in the math section = 75,972 - (25,324 + 37,986)

= 75,972 - 63,310

= 12,662 books
