Nicholas has a collection of books. He has 115 fantasy and science fiction books. These books are 46% of his collection. How man
Anit [1.1K]

Given that Nicholas has a 115 fantasy and science fiction books which is 46% of his collection.

Now we have to find what is total number of books in his collection.

Let number of books in Nicholas collection = x

then number of fantasy and science fiction books = 46% of x = 0.46x


We already know that he has 115 fantasy and science fiction books, so both values will be equal and give equation:

0.46x=115

now we can solve this equation to find the answer.

x=\frac{115}{0.46}

x= 250

Hence final answer is:

Nicholas has 250 books in his collection.

How u do ratios and divide because i have bad memories and its to many steps?
Drupady [299]
It depends on the question, but if the questions is sort of like "Person A and Person B shared 40 sweets in the ratio 3:5, how many sweets did Person A get" then you add 3 and 5 to get 8, and then you do 40 ÷ 8 to get 5 which is 1 in terms of the ratio. Then, you would multiply 5 by 3 to get 15 sweets. If it's a different type of question then let me know so I can help out :)
