Answer:
168 books
Step-by-step explanation:
According to problem, given data are as follows:
Total books for sale = 280 books
Sold on first day = 3 out of 5 books
So, percentage of first day sold = 3 ÷ 5 = 0.6 or 60%
So, we can calculate the total books sold on day one by using following method,
Total books sold on first day = Total books for sale × percentage sold
By putting the value, we get
= 280 books × 60%
= 168 books
