Answer: 40 books

Step-by-step explanation: 20%=8 Books

100 divided by 20 = 5

8 x 5 = 40

Divide 20% by 100 to obtain its decimal form. Dividing 20% by 100 equals 0.2. Set up an equation as 0.2x = 8 which means 20% of x equals 8. Solve the equation by dividing each side by 0.2, Dividing 0.2 from each side results in x=40 Eight is 20% of 40
So there were 40 books in the room and he took 8 making the books 20% less.

Helppp me please IREADY​
Morgarella [4.7K]

Hello there! The answer is the first option, 31/55.

To solve this, we don't even need to do any math. Note that fractions with the same numerator and denominator will be equal to 1.

Knowing this and looking at our second and fourth options, 55/55 x 111 and 31/31 x 111, these problems are the same as 1 x 111, which results in 111, which is not less than, leaving us with the third and first options.

The third option is 55/31, meaning we have more than a whole, so we are multiplying by a number greater than 1, making our answer over 111 and this option not correct.

This leaves the first option as your answer!
