Answer:

So it's either 12.1

Step-by-step explanation:

So you must multiply them to get the answer cause it tells how much fiction books are in there, and It 55% of the total so to find the total you must multiply them.  

But if you have a percent you have to make that into a decimal. So 55% will be 55/100 so that's .55, so all you have to do now is multiply them.

Answer: 40 books

Step-by-step explanation:

First divide 22/55 then multiply the product by 100.

22/55= 0.4

0.4*100=40
