Question

Rachel is a software saleswoman. Her base salary is $1900, and she makes an additional $110 for every copy of English is Fun she sells. Let P represent her total pay (in dollars), and let N represent the number of copies of English is Fun she sells. Write an equation relating P to N. Then use this equation to find her total pay if she sells 24 copies of English is Fun.

Answer 1

Answer:

P = 110N + 1,900.

$4,540.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her base salary is $1,900, so your constant/y-intercept for the equation is $1,900.

She makes an additional $110 for each copy, so your slope is $110.

P (the total pay) = 110 * the number of copies sold + 1,900

P = 110N + 1,900.

She sells 24 copies.

P =  110 * 24 + 1,900

P = 2,640 + 1,900

P = 4,540.

So, her total pay is $4,540.

Hope this helps!
