mrs. baker bought some books at a book sale, including 12 paperback books. 24% of all the books she bought were paperbacks . how many books did mrs baker buy in all.

Mrs. Baker

Number of books Mrs. Baker bought in all is:

= 50 books

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of paperback books bought = 12

Percentage of paperback books bought = 24%

Therefore, total number of books bought = 12/24%

= 50 books

Proof:

24% of 50 = 12

and 12/50 = 0.24 = 24%

This shows that we can obtain the total number of books that Mrs Baker bought by using the proportion of the paperback books.  Since she bought 12 paperback books and the proportion of paperback to the total books is 24%, it implies that she bought 50 (12/0.24) books.
