the equation that can be formed from the question is 36000 + 10x = 441000
x= 40500
actually the no of novels sold = x
no of paperback sold = 9x
hence total novels sold is = 36000 + 10x
so the no of paperback sold = 9*40500=364500
hence answer C
x= 40500
actually the no of novels sold = x
no of paperback sold = 9x
hence total novels sold is = 36000 + 10x
so the no of paperback sold = 9*40500=364500
hence answer C
