8 and 2: 8+8+2+2
7 and 3: 7+7+3+3
6 and 4: 6+6+4+4
=20
The step function is characteristic of the floor or ceiling functions, which map a real number to an integer. There's clearly a factor of 2, indicated by two units of y for every one unit of x.
The open and filled circles indicate, for example, f(1)=2, f(1.01)=4. That means we're rounding up, so we're using the ceiling function.

Explanation:
____________________________________________
Let "x" equal the number of books that Jill started with. Solve for "x" :
____________________________________________
x – (1/2)x + 16 = 36 ;
1x – (1/2)) = (1/2)x ;
(1/2)x + 16 = 36 ;
Subtract "16" from EACH SIDE of the equation:
(1/2)x + 16 – 16 = 36 – 16 ;
(1/2)x = 20 ;
Multiply each side of the equation by "2" ;
2*(1/2)x = 20 * 2 ;
to get: x = 40 .
