Answer:

they must check out at least 34623 books

Step-by-step explanation:

1st 10 months + november + december = yearly goal

plug in what we know

427113 + 38264 + december = 500000

combine like terms

465377+ december = 500000

subtract 465377 from each side

465377-465377+ december = 500000-465377

december = 34623

Answer:

34,623

Step-by-step explanation:

The first 10 months meaning January through October there was a total of 427,113 books checked out. On the eleventh month (November) there was a total of 38,264 books checked out. The librarian wants to set a record of 500,000 books so what is the difference?

500,000-427,113-38,264= 34,623

Therefore, on the twelve month (December) there must be a total of 34,623 books checked out in order to reach the goal of 500,000 books checked out.
