53361 + 9.5b = 25.25b
53361 = 25.25b - 9.5b
53361 = 15.75b
53361/15.75 = b
3388 = b <=== the publisher would have to sell 3388 books

25.25 per book. Cost of book is 9.50. Profit from sale would be 15.75 (25.25-9.50). That means that we will have 15.75 to pay back to the one-time cost of 53,361.
If we take the balance of 53,361, and divide it by 15.75, it will take 3,388 books to zero out the production costs. Any books sold after that would be considered profit to the publishers/writers.
