b. No, Travis was wrong.

c. Travis isn't correct because Mr. Roberts made $15 from the sales of each book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Number of books bought = 500

Selling price = $35

Robert savings (cost price) = $9,512 + $488

Robert savings (cost price) = $10,000

Purchasing price = $10,000/500 = $20

Revenues from book sold = 500 * 35 = $17,500

Total profit = Revenues - Cost price

Total profit = $17,500 - $10,000

Total profit = $7,500

To find the amount earned from each book;

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Profit from each book = $15

Therefore, Mr. Roberts earned $15 from selling each book.

Check:

Selling price = purchasing price + profit = $20 + $15 = $35
