There are 360 fiction books.

2. 120 + 120 – 40 – 65 = 135


There are 135 reference books left in the boxes.

3. 445 – 83 – 45 = 317
There are 317 non-fiction books left.

4. 238 + 145 + 673 = 1,056


There are 1,056 patrons using the library system.

5. 2475 – 592 – 137 = 1,746

6. 115 + 38 + x = 174
153 + x = 174
x = 21
