divide(subtract(75, 65), subtract(const_1, divide(60, const_100)))
"total = 75 books . 60 % of books that were loaned out are returned - - > 100 % - 60 % = 40 % of books that were loaned out are not returned . now , there are 68 books , thus 75 - 65 = 10 books are not returned . { loaned out } * 0.4 = 10 - - > { loaned out } = 25 . answer : b ."
