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
