22 students per class
88/4 = 22
The correct answer would be 3.65.
Let
x-------> the number of fiction books
y-------> the number of nonfiction books.
we know that
-----> equation 
-----> equation 
Add equation
and equation 
<u>find the value of y</u>



therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
Part a) the number of fiction books is 
Part b) the number of nonfiction books is 
Given:
y varies directly with x,
It is given that y = 7 when x = -9.
To find:
The value of y when x = 27 for the direct variation.
Solution:
It is given that y varies directly with x, so

...(i)
Where, k is the constant of proportionality.
It is given that y = 7 when x = -9. Putting these values in (i), we get
Putting
in (i), we get

Putting
, we get


Therefore, the required value is
.
