Question

Lena is a software saleswoman. Her base salary is $1600, and she makes an additional $90 for every copy of Math is Fun she sells.

Let P represent her total pay (in dollars), and let N represent the number of copies of Math is Fun she sells. Write an equation relating P to N. Then use this equation to find her total pay if she sells 29 copies of Math is Fun

Answer 1

Lena's total pay if she sells 29 copies of Math is Fun would be $4210.

Lena's total pay (P) to the number of copies of Math is Fun she sells (N) is:

P = 1600 + 90N

This equation shows that Lena's total pay is equal to her base salary of $1600 plus $90 for every copy of Math is Fun she sells.

To find Lena's total pay if she sells 29 copies of Math is Fun, we simply substitute N = 29 into the equation:

P = 1600 + 90(29)

P = 1600 + 2610

P = 4210

Therefore, Lena's total pay if she sells 29 copies of Math is Fun would be $4210.
