Answer:

Just because Michelle checked out 20% of her borrowed books were fictions does not mean Michael had more books. For example, Michelle could have borrowed 100 books, which would result into her borrowing 20 fiction books while Michael could have borrowed just 1 fiction book with a 100% of his borrowed books being a fiction book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because Michelle checked out 20% of her borrowed books were fictions does not mean Michael had more books. For example, Michelle could have borrowed 100 books, which would result into her borrowing 20 fiction books while Michael could have borrowed just 1 fiction book with a 100% of his borrowed books being a fiction book.

In other words, percentage is just the simplied ratio of something. Percentage cannot account for the original value and its original value cannot be assumed that it is small just because the percentage is small.
