Answer:

1700 books

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • % of non-fiction books in the library as 28%
  • Number of fiction books in the library as 1,224 books

We are required to determine the total number of books.

First we determine the percentage of non-fiction books

We need to know that;

% of fiction books + % of non-fiction books = 100%

Therefore;

% of non-fiction books = 100 % - 28 %

                                    = 72%

Second we determine the total number of books

We know that;

Total number of books = 100%

But;

72% = 1,224 books

Therefore;

Total number of books = (1,224 × 100%) ÷ 72%

                                      = 1700 books

Hence, the library has a total number of 1700 books

One angle of a triangle has a measure of 36°. The measure of the third angle is 28° less than 3 times the measure of the second
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

  1. Define your variable and write your equation:  36 + b + (3b-28) = 180°.
  2. measure of the second angle: 43°.
  3. measure of the third angle: 101°

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 36

c = 3b - 28

a + b + c = 180°

a = measure of the first angle

b = measure of the second angle

c = measure of the third angle

then:

1)  36 + b + (3b-28) = 180   ⇒ )Define your variable. Write your equation and solve)

b + 3b + 36 - 28 = 180

4b + 8 = 180

4b = 180 - 8

4b = 172

b = 172/4

2)   b = 43°        ⇒   measure of the second angle

c = 3b - 28

c = 3*43 - 28

c = 129 - 28

3) c = 101°      ⇒   measure of the third angle

Check:

36° + 43° + 101° = 180°
