Question

A school book fair has 72 non fiction books and 328fiction books for sale. What percent of the book fair is non fiction books ​

Answer 1

Answer:

18%

Step-by-step explanation:

Non fiction books - 72

Fiction Books - 328

Total Books - 400

72 + 328 = 400

Percent of non fiction books to book fair - 18%

$\frac{72}{400}$

Simplify it until it has a denominator of 100, since that is the standard denomination for percentages.

$\frac{18}{100}$

18% or 0.18.
