The complete question in the attached figure
Let
x--------------------- > <span>non-fiction books.------------------ > x=60
y--------------------- > f</span><span>iction books.
we know that
x+y=100
y=100-x=100-60=40
the </span>fiction books. are y=40
if 100%----------------------- > 100 books
X---------------------------- > 40
X=40*100/100=40%
40%-------------- > 40/100=20/50=2/5
the answer is
<span>the fraction of the books that are fiction is (2/5)</span>
