Answers:

a) 80% nonfiction

b) 1200 fiction, 4800 nonfiction

Explanation:

part (a)

We only have two choices: fiction or nonfiction

If 20% are fiction, then 100% - 20% = 80% are nonfiction.

The two percentages 20% and 80% add to 100% to represent all the books.

part (b)

20% = 20/100 = 0.20

20% of 6000 = 0.20*6000 = 1200

we have 1200 fiction books

6000-1200 = 4800

and we have 4800 nonfiction books

Note how

80% of 6000 = 0.80*6000 = 4800

which helps confirm part (a)
