The school carried out the activity of reading good books, and the library prepared 240 books on science and technology, which was one fifth higher than that on stories.
Suppose there are x books on the top and y books on the bottom.

x+y=240,x=240-y

Taking out a third of the books from the upper level means taking out 1/3x240=80 books. There are (x-80) books on the upper floor.

Taking out one fifth of the books from the lower level means taking out 1/5x240=48 books. There are (y-48) books on the lower floor.

At this time, the books at the upper level are 1 and 1/3 times that at the lower level, that is, (x-80)= 1 and 1/3(y-48).

Substitute x=240-y into the above formula and get y=96 copies.

There are 96 books on the lower floor.
