step 5 of 5: find the number of science fiction books sold each month. round your answer to the nearest integer. sports 34% reference 30% science fiction 15% travel 10% cooking 11%

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total books (assume total is 500, as common in such problems if not given, but wait, the problem might have a total? Wait, the original problem's step 5: "Find the number of science fiction books sold each month. Round your answer to the nearest integer." Wait, maybe the total number of books is missing? Wait, maybe in the original problem (before the image), the total number of books sold each month is given? Wait, the user's image shows a pie chart with science fiction 15%. Wait, maybe the total is, for example, if we assume total books sold per month is, say, 500 (common), but wait, maybe the original problem had a total. Wait, perhaps the user missed including the total number of books. Wait, but since the problem is about a pie chart (statistics, which is a subfield of Mathematics), let's assume that maybe the total number of books sold each month is, for example, 500 (but maybe the original problem had a total, like 500). Wait, no, the user's image: the pie chart has sports 34%, reference 30%, science fiction 15%, travel 10%, cooking 11%. Let's check: 34+30+15+10+11=100, so percentages add up. So we need the total number of books sold per month. Wait, maybe the original problem (step 5 of 5) had a total, like "A bookstore sells 500 books each month. Find the number of science fiction books sold each month." Let's assume total books \( T = 500 \) (common example). Then, science fiction is 15% of \( T \).

Step2: Calculate 15% of total.

To find 15% of \( T \), use the formula: \( \text{Number of science fiction books} = T \times \frac{15}{100} \).
If \( T = 500 \), then \( 500 \times 0.15 = 75 \).

Wait, but maybe the total is different. Wait, the user's problem might have a total, like 500. Let's confirm: if total is \( T \), then \( 0.15 \times T \). Let's assume \( T = 500 \) (since it's a common number). Then \( 500 \times 0.15 = 75 \).

Answer:

If the total number of books sold each month is 500, the number of science fiction books is 75. (Note: If the total is different, substitute \( T \) in the formula \( 0.15 \times T \). For example, if total is 600, then \( 600 \times 0.15 = 90 \). But since the problem says "round to nearest integer", and assuming total is 500, the answer is 75.)
