From the given situation above, it is given that the total number of books that Tony has, 1/8 of it are mystery books and he has 3 mystery books. To simply solve this we multiply 1/8 by 3 which gives us the result of 3/24. Therefore, the total number of books that Tony has is 24. 

Answer:

24  books does tony have in all

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the books does tony have in all.

As per the statement:

1/8 of tony's books are mystery books.he has 3 mystery books
