    1700 books

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are given;

    % of non-fiction books in the library as 28% Number of fiction books in the library as 1,224 books

    We are required to determine the total number of books.

    First we determine the percentage of non-fiction books

    We need to know that;

    % of fiction books + % of non-fiction books = 100%

    Therefore;

    % of non-fiction books = 100 % - 28 %

    = 72%

    Second we determine the total number of books

    We know that;

    Total number of books = 100%

    But;

    72% = 1,224 books

    Therefore;

    Total number of books = (1,224 * 100%) : 72%

    = 1700 books

    Hence, the library has a total number of 1700 books
