• $\tt{Number\:_{(each\:notebook)}=200\:paper}$

$\sf\large\underline{To\:Find:}$

$\tt{\implies Total\: number\:_{(notebook)}=?}$

$\sf\large\underline{Solution:}$

• Simply by using division method to calculate the number of notebooks]

$\tt{\implies \frac{Total\: number\:of\: sheet\: paper}{each\: notebook\: contain}=Total\: number\:_{(notebook)}}$

$\tt{\implies Total\: number\:_{(notebook)}=\dfrac{75000}{200}}$

$\tt{\implies Total\: number\:_{(notebook)}=375}$

$\sf\large{Hence,}$

$\bf{\implies Total\: number\:_{(notebook)}=375}$
