Answer:

Marcella is not correct

The mysteries equal 0.6 of the total books

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Using proportion

Find the percentage of books that were mystery.

100 books represent the 100%

so

[tex]\frac{100\%}{100}=\frac{x}{60} \\ \\x=100\%*60/100\\ \\x=60\%=60/100=0.6[/tex]

therefore

The mysteries equal 0.6 of the total books
