Answer 1

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Winner is paid :

Monthly pay while on tour = $5000

Pay per CD sold =. $2

A) Equation which relates total earning in terms of number of months 'm' while on tour and the number 'n' of CD's sold.

(Monthly pay * number of months) + (pay per CD * number of CD's)

Earning = 5000m + 2n

B) How much will the winner earn after the first month if 500 CDs are sold?

m = 1, n = 500

5000(1) + 2(500) = $6000

C) Suppose after the third month on tour the new recording artist has earned a total of $74 000. How many GDs were sold?

m = 3

74000 = 5000(3) + 2n

74000 = 15000 + 2n

74000 - 15000 = 2n

59000 = 2n

n = 59000 / 2

n = 29500 CD's

D) In Canada, a record album or CD achieves gold status once it seLls 50 000 units. How much will the artist make if the CD goes gold after 6 months of touring?

n = Gold = 50000 ; m = 6

5000(6) + 2(50000)

30000 + 100000 = 130,000
