Answer: the answer is $337.50 APEX

Ryan's revenue last month if he sold 16 new books and 25 old books

is $337.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of old books sold by Ryan = 25

The cost of each old book = $5.50

⇒ Total amount earned by selling 25 old books = 25 x $5.50

= $137.5

The number of new books sold by Ryan = 16

The cost of each new book = $12.50

⇒ Total amount earned by selling 16 new books = 16 x $12.50

= $200

Hence Total amount earned by Ryan

= Amount earned by selling old books + Amount by selling new books

= $137.5 + $200

= $337.50

or, Total amount earned by Ryan = $337.50

Hence Ryan's revenue last month if he sold 16 new books and 25 old books is $337.50.
