At a certain university bookstore, all but 5 of its 86 copies of a certain novel currently in stock are hardcover. Every box of copies of this novel that the bookstore orders contains 9 paperback copies and 3 hardcover copies. The store manager intends to order enough boxes to ensure that, after the boxes arrive, three fifths of the copies of the novel in stock are hardcover. Assuming that no copies are sold before the boxes arrive, how many boxes must the manager order?

Hard cover = 86 - 5 = 81
Each box will add 3 hard cover and 12 total books
If the total number of boxes is x, then hard cover to total ratio is given by:
(81 + 3x) / (86 + 12x) = 3/5
Solve for x to get x = 7

Initial situation:
\(H = 81\\
P = 5\)
Let b be the number of ordered boxes. Since 1 box contains 9 paperback and 3 hardcover, after the order we'll have:
\(H = 81 + 3b\)
\(P = 5 + 9b\)
We want 3/5 of the total as hardcover:
\(\frac{3}{5} (H+P) = H\\
\\
\frac{3}{5} (81+3b+5+9b) =81+3b\\
\\
\frac{3}{5} (86+12b) = 81+3b\\
\\
258 + 36b = 405 + 15b\\
\\
21b = 147\\
\\
b = 7\)
Answer: A
