Easy Word Problems Algebraic Reasoning

In a school library, the number of fiction books is 4 times the number of non-fiction books. If there are a total of 60 books in the library, how many non-fiction books are there?

Let the number of non-fiction books be represented as $n$. Thus, the number of fiction books would be $4n$. The total number of books can be expressed as:

$$n + 4n = 60$$
