Question

A bookshelf has 36 fiction books and 44 non-fiction books. What percentage of the total books are non-fiction?

Answer 1

55% of the total books are non-fiction.

Explanation:

There are a total of 80 books, and there are 44 non-fiction books among them.

Divide 44 by 80, then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

(44/80) × 100 = 55%
