  1. Given that Nicholas has a 115 fantasy and science fiction books which is 46% of his collection.

    Now we have to find what is total number of books in his collection.

    Let number of books in Nicholas collection = x

    then number of fantasy and science fiction books = 46% of x = 0.46x

    We already know that he has 115 fantasy and science fiction books, so both values will be equal and give equation:

    0.46x=115

    now we can solve this equation to find the answer.

    [tex]x=\frac{115}{0.46}[/tex]

    x= 250

    Hence final answer is:

    Nicholas has 250 books in his collection.
