The correct answer is \"B\".
\n" ); document.write( "The total number of books available is \"%2830-3%29%2B%2830-5%29\", or \"27%2B25\",which is \"52\". To find the class periods for which there are \"not\" enough books, find the total number of books needed for \"each\"\"+period\", as given in the table below.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "PERIOD------------------ \"1\" --------\"2\"----\"+3\"---- \"4\"----- \"5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "BOOKS NEEDED--------- \"23\"------ \"49\"---\"+56\"--- \"50\"----\"+27\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The \"only\" entry in the table with \"more\" than\"+52\" is \"56\" for period \"3\". If you selected answer choice \"E\", you probably used \"60\" as the number of \"available\" books and \"did\"\"+not\"\"+take\"\"+into\" \"account\" the \"8\"\"+missing\"\"+books\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
