QUESTION

There are 3600 books in a library. If the ratio of bound and unbound books is 5:13, find the total number of bound books.

ANSWER

There are a total of 1000 bound books.

SOLUTION

5x + 13x = 3600

18x = 3600

x = 200

BOUND BOOKS = 5x = 5(200) = 1000

UNBOUND BOOKS = 13x = 13(200) = 2600
