1) How much more money did The Science Behind Trucks need to make in order to equal the amount of money Eye of the Tiger made?

310,000 + x = 465,000

2) How many times more money did Calendar of Love make than The Science behind Trucks?

310,000x = 930,000

3) A fourth book, Quick Cooks, made some money during the same opening week. The total money made for the four books was $1,955,000. How much money did Quick Cooks bring in during opening week?

310,000 + 930,000 + 465,000 + x = 1,955,000
