    Answer:

    11331 non fiction books

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given :

    Total books = 67982

    Childrens section = 1/3 of total

    Number of children’s books :

    (1/3 * 67982) = 22660 books (approximately)

    Books left :

    67982 – 22660 = 45,322 books

    Fiction books:

    75% of remaining

    0.75 * 45322

    33991.5

    = 33991 books

    If the only section left is non – fiction, then

    Non – fiction books = (45322 – 33991) = 11331
