Answer 2

Answer:

240 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of magazines =y

SO, the number of books=3y ( AS THERE ARE 3 TIMES AS MANY BOOKS AS MAGAZINES.)

THERE ARE 320 BOOKS IN TOTAL IN THAT BOOKSHOP. SO,

Y + 3y =320

4y = 320

Y=320/4

Y=80

SO, there are 80 magazines

As y =80 so, 3y =3*80 =240

HENCE, THERE ARE 240 BOOKS AND 80 MAGAZINES IN THAT BOOKSHOP.

HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND IT.

THANK YOU.
