Answer:

Explanation:

A publisher sells digital copies of their new book, paperback copies or barnacle copies.

Digital sales = d

Paper back sales = p

Hard back sales = h

For every 4 digital sales they make, they make 5 paperback sales and 1 hardback sale.

In the first week of sales, the company sells 307 more paperback copies of the book than hardback copies.

p = 307 + h

How many total copies of the book did the company make in week 1?
