Given that Nicholas has a 115 fantasy and science fiction books which is 46% of his collection.
Now we have to find what is total number of books in his collection.
Let number of books in Nicholas collection = x
then number of fantasy and science fiction books = 46% of x = 0.46x
We already know that he has 115 fantasy and science fiction books, so both values will be equal and give equation:
0.46x=115
now we can solve this equation to find the answer.
x= 250
Hence final answer is:
Nicholas has 250 books in his collection.
