Let there be 2x science and 5x art books 
<span>science books sold = 2x × 0.2 = 0.4x </span>
<span>science books unsold = 2x – 0.4x = 1.6x </span>

<span>art books sold = 5x × 0.2 = x </span>
<span>art books unsold = 5x – x = 4x </span>

<span>total books unsold = 1.6x + 4x = 5.6x </span>
<span>5.6x = 2240 </span>
<span>x = 400 </span>

<span>2x science = 800 </span>
<span>and 5x art books = 2000 </span>

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

108 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

the total is 4.536 oz of vitamin pills

each bottle can accomodate 0.042 oz of vitamin pills

to know the quantity of each bottle

we calculate

0.042 oz of vitamin pills  = 1 bottle

4.536 oz of vitamin pills = (4.536 x 1)/0.042=108

so therefore 4.536 oz of vitamin pills will accomodate 108 bottles
