Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Kamesh and Pablo each read 40 books in one year. Kamesh read 12 nonfiction books.

Thirty five percent of the books Pablo read were nonfiction. This means that the number of non fiction books that Pablo read is 35% of 40. This becomes

35/100 × 40 = 14

This means that Pablo read 14 non fiction books. Pablo read more non fiction books. Number of books that Pablo read more is 14 - 12 = 2
