If 60 books is 2% of the books at the library how many books does the library have??

answer

3000 books

step-by-step explanation

set up equation where books = total * percent

books = 60

percent = 2% = 0.02

plug in values

60 = total * 0.02

divide both sides by 0.02

60/0.02 = total

total = 3000

3000 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a proportion

We know 60 books, out of all the books(unknown or x), equals 2%

60/x=2/100

Cross multiply

2x=6000

Divide by 2 on both sides

x=3000

So the library has 3000 books

Hope this helps! :)

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

4x - 6 + 6 = 4x - 6 + 6

4x = 4x

x = x
