Question

paolo read 40 books in one year 35% of the books paolo read were non fiction. how many nonfiction and fiction books did he read?

Answer 1

Answer:

Paolo reads in total 26 fiction and 14 non- fiction books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the total number of books read by Paolo = 40 books

The percentage of non-fiction books read = 35%

Now, 35% of total books read =  35% of 40

⇒ $\frac{35}{100} \times 40 = 14$

So, the number of non -fiction books read by Paolo = 14

Now, the number of fiction booosk read

= Total books read - Non- Fiction books read

=  40 - 14  =  26

So, the number of fiction books read by Paolo = 26

Hence, Paolo reads in total 26 fiction and 14 non- fiction books.
