Eleanor Keller · Answer 1

313131 total books

Step By Step Explanation: We can use the equation 9.9%x=31000 and x represents the total number of books.

We could also convert this percent to a decimal by moving it two places to the left (0.99).

Nevertheless, we can divide both sides by 9.9% to find that the total number of books is 313131 books.
