a library branch originally contained 18365 volumes , 30 % of which were fiction novels . 1 / 3 of the volumes were transferred to another location and 1 / 3 of the volumes transferred were fiction novels . what percent of the remaining collection was fiction novels ?
"fiction novels = 5,509 transferred to another location = 6,121 transferred fiction novels = 2,040 non transferred fiction novels = 3,469 percent of the remaining collection was fiction novels = 3469 / ( 18365 - 6121 ) * 100 = > 28.332 . . . % hence answer will be ( c )"
multiply(divide(multiply(divide(30, const_100), subtract(1, divide(1, 3))), subtract(1, divide(1, 3))), const_100)
