Answer 1

Answer:

3000 books

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the author receives a one time fee of $2500. On top of that, the author will receive $1.50 per book sold. This is a constant rate and is linear because of this. We can use y=mx+b. M is the slope or rate of change. M here is $1.50. B is the starting value which is $2500 here.

We write y=1.5x+2500.

This equation will give the amount of money the author earns for x number of books sold. If y=7000 for the author earning 7000. We will use inverse operations to isolate and find x.

7000=1.5x+2500

7000-2500=1.5x+2500-2500

4500=1.5x

4500/1.5=x

3000=x

Answer 2

Answer:

The author must sell 300 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
