divide(subtract(150, 108), subtract(const_1, divide(65, const_100)))
"the total number of books is 150 . let x be the number of books which were loaned out . 65 % of books that were loaned out are returned . 35 % of books that were loaned out are not returned . now , there are 108 books , thus the number of un - returned books is 150 - 108 = 42 books . 0.35 x = 42 x = 120 the answer is e ."
