To find out how many more books are in the school library than in the town library, we first need to calculate the total number of books in the school library.
-
Calculate the total number of books in the school library: \[ \text{Total books in school library} = \text{Fiction books} + \text{Nonfiction books} \] \[ = 2,345 + 3,789 = 6,134 \]
-
Find out how many more books are in the school library than in the town library: \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Total books in school library} - \text{Total books in town library} \] \[ = 6,134 - 5,632 = 502 \]
Thus, there are 502 more books in the school library than in the town library.
