Answer:
A lot of people are saying 87. He sold the books for $2 profit, and he made $150. That’s 75 books sold for profit plus the 12 he lost for a total of 87.
But wait just a minute! We have a problem. He paid $5 a piece for the books he lost. That’s a $60 loss that we haven’t accounted for. Since we know he makes $2 profit per sale that’s another 30 books sold.
So the real answer is 87 + 30, which equals 117 books purchased.
