Answer:
There are 40 books total
Step-by-step explanation:
you need to set a proportion
The first fraction is 55/100 it's over 100 because it's percent
the other fraction is 22/x the 22 is out of a total number so that's why it's on top and x because you don't know the total number of books
then you multiply diagonally
55×x= 22×100
55x=2,200
Then you solve it like a regular equation by dividing both sides by 55
x=40
