Question

15 of the books for sale at a bookstore store are hardcover. If this represents 12% of all books

Answer 1

The right answer is Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hardcover books = 15

This represent 12% of total books.

Let,

x be the total number of books, therefore,

12% of x = 15

$\frac{12}{100}*x=15\\0.12x=15$

Dividing both sides by 0.12

$\frac{0.12x}{0.12}=\frac{15}{0.12}\\x=125$

As, 15 of them are hardcover books, the remaining will not be hardcovers;

Remaining books = Total books - hardcover books

Remaining books = 125 - 15 = 110

115 books are not hardcover.

The right answer is Option C.
