    Total number of books = 85

    20% of books are mystery books = 20% of 85 = 0.2*85 = 17

    So number of mystery books = 17

    Number of adventure stories = 18

    Number of fantasy books = total number of books - (number of mystery books + number of adventure stories)

    Number of fantasy books = 85 - (17+18) = 85 - 35 = 50

    Answer : Number of fantasies in the library are 50.
