Answer:
The author must sell 3000 books.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount earned = advance + books sold * money per book
We know they want to make 7000
The advance is 2500
They earn 1.50 for each book sold
b= number of books sold
Substituting in
7000= 2500 + 1.5b
Subtract 2500 from each side
7000-2500 = 2500-2500 + 1.5 b
4500 = 1.5 b
Divide each side by 1.5
4500/1.5 = 1.5b/1.5
3000 = b
