Answer 2

Answer:

There are 40 books total

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to set a proportion

The first fraction is 55/100 it's over 100 because it's percent

the other fraction is 22/x the 22 is out of a total number so that's why it's on top and x because you don't know the total number of books

then you multiply diagonally

55×x= 22×100

55x=2,200

Then you solve it like a regular equation by dividing both sides by 55

x=40
