Question

In a school library, 40% of the books are in Nepali language, 40% of the remaining books are in
English and the remaining books are in regional languages. If the number of books in English
language is 4800, find the total number of books in the library.
Answer is 20000. Explain step by step

Answer 1

Answer:

Percentage of nepali books in library = 40%

percentage of english books in library = 40%

both percentage of english and nepali is equal so the number of english books will equals to number of nepali books.

Number of english books = 4800

So number of nepali books is also 4800.

let total percentage of books in library = 100%

percentage of regional language books = 40+40

= 80 = 100-80 = 20%

number of regional language of books = half of english or nepali language books = 4800/2 = 2400

Total number of books in library = 4800+4800+2400

= 12000 books.

Hope it will correct and helps you.
