So they sold 175/500 books… if you reduce this by dividing by 5 on top and bottom, you’ll get 35/100. So the answer would be 35%. Hope this helps!!!
Step 1: Calculate the percentage of books sold so far by dividing the number of books sold (175) by the total number of books they hope to sell (500).

Step 2 :Divide 175 by 500 to get the decimal value.

Step 3:Multiply the decimal value by 100 to convert it to a percentage.

Final answer:35%
