So if Lisa's reading list is 20% fiction, that's 20/100. So how can you simplify 20/100 so that the top number (the numerator) is 5? 
If you divide both numbers by 4 (the same as dividing the fraction by 4), then you get 5/25. That means 5 out of 25 books are fiction. Her reading list is 25 books long.

Hello : 
<span>a point on the y-axis is : P( 0, y)
</span>PA = PB  or  PA² = PB².... A(7, -7)    B(1,1)
(7-0)²+(-7-y)² = (1-0)² + (1-y)²
49+49+14y+y² = 1+1-2y+y²
