<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of books in the math section are:

                             12662 books.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The total number of books in the store are: 75972

Now, it is given that:

  • The science section represents 1/3 of the total books.

i.e. The number of science books are: (1/3)×75972

                                                           =   25324 books.

  • Also,of the remaining books, 75% are business.

This means that the Remaining books are:

Total books-Number of science books

=   75972-25324

=  50648

i.e.

Number of business books are: 75% of 50648

                                                = 0.75× 50648

                                                =  37986

  • Hence, the number of books in the math section are:  Total books-Number of books in the other two sections

=  75972-(37986+ 25324)

=  12662 books.

Given that total number of books in the book store = 75972

Given that total number of books in science section =\frac{1}{3} rd of total books =\frac{1}{3}*75972 = 25324

Then remaining number of books = 75972 - 25324 = 50648


Given that 75% of the remaining books are in business section = 75% of 50648 = 0.75*50648 = 37986

Then number of books in the math section = 50648 - 37986 =  12662


Hence final answer is 12662 books in the math section.

Find the missing angels in the parallelogram
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

m<B = 60°

m<C = 60°

m<F = 80°

m<G = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

m<B = 180° - 120° = 60°

m<C = m<B = 60° (Vertically opposite angles are equal)

m<F = 180° - (40° + m<C(60°)) = 80°

m<G = 180° - (m<H + m<B) = 180° - (40° + 60°) = 80°
