The library has 2,000 books for sale.The books are sorted into nonfiction, fiction, and children's books. The children's books number 500. Also, there are 200 more fiction books than nonfiction books. How many fiction books and nonfiction books are for sale in all? Please, Explain all the directions on how you got your answer.

Respuesta :

If you take 2000 and subtract that by 500 for the childrens books that would equal 1500. So, the fiction and nonfiction books sum would have to be 1500. Since 850 plus 650 equals 1500, there would be 650 nonfiction books, 850 fiction books, and 500 children's books.

Hope This Helps!
