Answer:
220 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Let x be equal to the total number of books being sold.
We're given that Morgan bought 11 books, and this was 5% of the total number of books. Form an equation:
[tex]x*5\%=11[/tex]
Rewrite 5% as a decimal:
[tex]x*0.05=11[/tex]
Divide both sides by 0.05:
[tex]x=\displaystyle \frac{11}{0.05} \\\\x=220[/tex]
Therefore, there was a total of 220 books at the school book sale.
I hope this helps!
