Answer 2

Answer:

220 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let x be equal to the total number of books being sold.

We're given that Morgan bought 11 books, and this was 5% of the total number of books. Form an equation:

$x*5\%=11$

Rewrite 5% as a decimal:

$x*0.05=11$

Divide both sides by 0.05:

$x=\displaystyle \frac{11}{0.05} \\\\x=220$

Therefore, there was a total of 220 books at the school book sale.

I hope this helps!
