Question

In the first ten months of the year, people took out 427,113 books from the Brookton Library. The librarian would like to set a new record and have 500,000 books go out in one year. If 38,264 books are taken out in November, how many must go out in December to meet the librarian?s goal?

Answer 1

34,623

Explanation:

427,113 + 38,264 = 465377

500,000 - 465377 = 34,623 books in December must go out to meet the librarian's goal.
