Step 1
Azad sold some books at ​$27 each and used the money to buy some concert tickets at ​$54.
So least amount of money he could have earned from selling the​ books.
= 2 × 27
= $ 54
Step 2
and least amount of books he should have sold = 2 books
because by selling minimum 2 books we can gain $54, for which he could buy 1 ticket at least.
