Question

50% of marathi books ina library out of it 1/3 rd books of english and mathematics books are 25%of english the remaining boojs are 560 what is the total books in the library

Answer 1

Let the total number of books be x

50 % of the total books are of Marathi = x*50/100 = x/2

Books of English are 1/3rd of Marathi = (x/2)*(1/3)

= x/6

Books on Mathematics are 25 % of the English books = (x/6)*(25/100)

= x/24

Remaining books = 560

Now, according to the question.

⇒ x/2 + x/6 + x/24 + 560/1 = x/1

⇒ (12x + 4x + x + 13440)/24 = x/1

⇒ 17x + 13440 = 24x

⇒ 24x - 17x = 13440

⇒ 7x = 13440

⇒ x = 13440/7

⇒ x = 1920

So, there are 1920 books in the the library.
