Smaller number, if it's 8 x 1/8 you will get 1.
517284 books have been sold to date.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Copies sold in first month = 41900
This represents 8.1% of copies sold to date.
Let,
x be the number of copies that have been sold to date.
8.1% of x = 41900
Dividing both sides by 0.081
Rounding off to nearest whole number
x = 517284
517284 books have been sold to date.

558.7 , because 74 x 7.55 = 588.7 , it would be his total for the two weeks
Solve for x in 2nd equation
times -1 both sides
x-5=6y
add 5
x=6y+5
sub
5(6y+5)+4y=-26
30y+25+4y=-26
34y+25=-26
minus 25 both sides
34y=-51
divide both sides by 34
y=-3/2
sub back
x=6y+5
x=6(-3/2)+5
x=-18/2+5
x=-9+5
x=-4
(-4,-3/2) is solution
