Step 1
Working with fractions, we know the following:
34 are English books. 14 are Chinese books.
The difference between the fractions is:
3414=24=12
The difference between the number of books is 2849.
So if half of the number of books is 2849, the total number of books is;
2849×2=5698
or:
12×x=2849
x=2×2849=5698
