The above is an estimation question. Estimation is when you judge the results obtained from a sample and make a rough calculation. The answer obtained might not be exactly right, its based on a judgement.

In this a sample was taken and out of 80 books, 6 of them were history books.
The assumption made then is that for every 80 books taken randomly , 6 of them will be history. Using this assumption ;
21 360 books in the library,
for every 80 books - 6 history books
then for 21 360 books - 6 / 80 * 21360
                                   =  1602 history books

(SHOW WORK NEED IT BY TONIGHT! )Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill
earnstyle [38]

Let X = the number of hours the server works.

The equation for the amount Nick spends is 15x + 47

The next job pays 14x + 54

Set the equations to equal and solve for x:

15x + 47 = 14x +54

Subtract 14x from both sides:

X + 47 = 54

Subtract 47 from both sides:

X = 7

Now replace x with 7 in the second equation:

14x + 54 = 14(7) + 54 = 98 +54 = 152

The job would pay $152 and be 7 hours long.
