Let P represent her total pay (in dollars), and let N represent the number of copies of History is Fun she sells. Write an equation relating P to N. Then use th equation to find her total pay if she sells 22 copies of History is Fun. Equation: 0 O=O $ ? pay if Jessica sells 22 copies: s

Answer 1

Given that P represent her total pay (in dollars), and let N represent the number of copies of History is Fun she sells then

P = 2500 + 80N (in dollars)

If N = 22 then

P = 2500 + 80 * 22

= 2500 + 1760

= $4,260
