The percent by which the sales of horror books is greater than sales of cookbook is 1.85% approx.
<h3>How to find the percentage from the total value?</h3>
Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'
Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%
Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus we will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it with b so that we collect b items per 100 items(that is exactly what b per cent means).
Thus, that thing in number is
Given that:
Genre number sold
- Romance 52
- Horror 55
- Fantasy 60
- Biography 57
- Humor 58
- Cookbook 54
Let we have:
Number of horror books sold = P% greater than number of cookbooks sold
55 = P% greater than 54
55 = 54 + P% of 54
1 = P% of 54
Thus, the percent by which the sales of horror books is greater than sales of cookbook is 1.85% approx.

Answer:
1.27 = .25q + .10d +.05n
No we cannot have exactly 60 pennies
Step-by-step explanation:
Quarters = .25
Dimes = .10
Nickels = .05
Pennies = .01
Let q = quarters, d = dimes = n = nickels, p = pennies
One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies."
1.87 = .25q + .10d +.05n + .01p
But it says we have 60 pennies so replace p with 60
1.87 = .25q + .10d +.05n + .01(60)
1.87 = .25q + .10d +.05n + .60
Subtract .60 from each side
1.87-.6 = .25q + .10d +.05n + .60-.6
1.27 = .25q + .10d +.05n
Notice the 27cents
We need 2 pennies to get to 7 cents. We cannot have exactly 60 pennies and have 1.87
