we know that

The school paid a unit price ($) per book of

[tex] \frac{1,137.50}{350} =3.25 [/tex]

$[tex] 3.25 [/tex] per book.

In order to make a profit of $1,500, the agenda books need to be

sold for a minimum of

[tex] 3.25+\frac{1500}{350} =3.25+4.29\\ =7.54 [/tex]

$[tex] 7.54 [/tex] per book.

Check

$[tex] 7.54*350 [/tex] brings revenue of

$[tex] 2,639 [/tex],

and [tex] (2,639-1,137.50) [/tex] gives profit of

$[tex] 1,501.50 [/tex]

therefore

the answer is

$[tex] 7.54 [/tex] per book.
