Question

Hans is a software salesman. His base salary is $1700, and he makes an additional $70 for every copy of History is Fun he sells. Let P represent his total pay (in dollars), and let N represent the number of copies of History is Fun he sells. Write an equation relating P to N. Then use this equation to find his total pay if he sells 26 coples of History Is Fun.

Answer 1

the equation is:

`P=1700+70N`

so if he sells 26 copies we get that:

`P=1700+26\cdot70=3520`
