Answer:

168 books

Step-by-step explanation:

According to problem, given data are as follows:

Total books for sale = 280 books

Sold on first day = 3 out of 5 books

So, percentage of first day sold = 3 ÷ 5 = 0.6 or 60%

So, we can calculate the total books sold on day one by using following method,

Total books sold on first day = Total books for sale × percentage sold

By putting the value, we get

= 280 books × 60%

= 168 books
