Answer: 139 copies of her book were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Earnings (d)

<em>d= 20,009+0.15n </em>

Where "n" is the number of copies sold.

If she earned $22,100, we have to replace the value of d by the number given:

22,100 = 20,009 +0.15 n

Solving for n

22,100-20,009 = 0.15n

2,091=0.15n

2,091/15=n

139.4=n

n≅139 books (rounded)
