You can set up a proportion for this problem. Let the total number of books = x

The number of non-fiction books to the total number of books is

3/(7 + 3) books = 3/10

3/10 = 240/x                       Cross multiply

3x = 240 * 10                      Combine the right

3x = 2400                           Divide by 3

3x/3 = 2400/3                    Divide

x = 800

Answer: 800 books in total.

Find two numbers whose difference is 176 and whose product is a minimum.
Zanzabum
Let the two required numbers be x and y, then x - y = 176, thus y = x - 176.

Let the product of the two numbers be represented by

P = xy x(x - 176) = x^2 - 176x

For the product to be minimum, \frac{dP}{dx} =0

\frac{dP}{dx} =2x - 176=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow2x=176 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x=88

Thus, y = 88 - 176 = -88

Therefore, the two numbers are 88 and -88.
