A company is selling books. It has to pay $500 to start printing the books, and once they have done that, the books sell at $14.99 each. How many books must they sell to make a profit?
First we would model an equation. X will be the amount of books sold, and Y will be profits (in dollars obv). They had to pay $500 before they could start selling, so we must account for that too.
This equation would be

because for every book sold, X increases by 1, increasing Y by 14.99

Answer:
Net worth is defined as:
Assets - Liabilities.
Assets are what you own.
Liabilities are what you have to pay.
So, home + truck + investments are assets.
Likewise, mortgage + student loans + credit cards are liabilities.
Doing the math, Susan's net worth is
Assets - Liabilities
$143,392.90 - $98,077.12 =
$45,315.78
Susan's net worth is $45,315.78
Good luck!
For the first one it is the fourth one 15/x
The answer is 4
Because 0.5 times 4 is 2
