    17 books in total, and 8 new. To find the number of used books, we subtract 8 from 17.

    17-8 = 9 used books

    Now we have 8 new books and 9 used books.

    All books: 17

    Used books: 9

    New books: 8

    (a) all books: used books

    17: 9

    (b) new books: used books

    8: 9
