The correct answer is b. 116,900
The publishing company must sell 116,900 copies of the book to break even.
Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide the amount htat the company paid for the rights by the net value you can find the total number of copies that the company has to sell to break even.
# books = $725,000/$6.20 = 116935 or approximately 116900 copies of the book.
