   a - b = 8

a - b = 8
24 - b = 8
b = 16

Kira is a software saleswoman. Her base salary is $1600, and she makes an additional $60 for every copy of "English is Fun" she
Alchen [17]

Answer:

P = 1600 + 60N; $3,340

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know she gets $1,600 as a base, and $60 <em>each book</em>, we have to add a variable to 60 to show how many books she sells. Your first equation will be P (which is the total) = 1,600 + 60N. Now, we have to replace N with 29. You now have P = 1,600 + 60(29) = 1,600 + 1,740 = $3,340. That's your answer!

How much bigger is 3/8 than 1/3 answer as a fraction
alekssr [168]
You would first need to find a common denominator for 3/8 and 1/3 the common denominator would be 24 because 8 times three is 24 and 3 times 8 is 24. After you find your common denominator your fraction becomes 9/24 + 8/24. This gives you 17/24.
