discounted books = D..
.3 *D = bargain books = B..
NOW B = .18 T..
so \(.3D = .18*T\) so \(\frac{D}{T} = \frac{.18}{.3} = .6\)or 60%

We can let the total number of discounted books = d and let the total number of books in the store = n.
We need to determine what percent of the books in the store are discounted or d/n x 100 = ?
Since 30 percent of the books that have been discounted are called bargain books, bargain books = 0.3d
Since bargain books make up 18% of the total books in the store, bargain books = 0.18n
Thus, we can equate 0.3d and 0.18n and isolate d/n.
0.3d = 0.18n
30d = 18n
d/n = 18/30 = 3/5
Thus d/n x 100 = 3/5 x 100 = 60 percent.
Answer: D
