Answer:
Number of books that must be checked out in December to meet the librarian's goal is 34,623
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Number of books checked out from the Brookton library in first ten months of the year= 427,113 books
Also,
According to question,
Number of books checked out in November = 38,264 books
So,
Total number of books checked out till November = Number of books checked out in first ten months + Number of books checked out in November
= 427,113 + 38,264
= 465,377
Total number of books checked out till November = 465,377
Now,
According to the goal of librarian , Number of books to be checked out in year = 500,000 books
Already 465,377 books have been checked out
So,
Number of books to be checked out in December = 500,000 - 465,377 = 34,623
Hence,
Number of books that must be checked out in December to meet the librarian's goal is 34,623
