A bookstore sold 1,250 books in a month. if 70% of the books the store sold were paperbacks, how many paperback books did the store sell in the month?

If you would like to know how many paperback books did the store sell in a month, you can calculate this using the following steps:

paperback books: 70% of the sold books = 70% of 1,250 books = 70% * 1,250 = 70/100 * 1,250 = 875 books

The correct result would be 875 paperback books.

The store sold 70/100 x 1,250 = 0.70 x 1,250 = 875 paperbacks.
