Total Books Initially
The school library started with a total of:
- 325 books
Books Purchased
The librarian bought additional books:
- 178 books
Calculating Total Books After Purchase
To find the total number of books after the purchase, add the initial number of books to the books bought:
- Total after purchase = 325 + 178
- Total after purchase = 503 books
Books Given Away
Later, the library donated some books to another school:
- 96 books
Calculating Remaining Books
To find out how many books are left in the library, subtract the donated books from the total after purchase:
- Remaining books = 503 - 96
- Remaining books = 407 books
Final Count
Thus, after all transactions:
- The library has 407 books left.
In summary, the correct answer is not option 'B' but option 'A' which is 407.
