Question

Eric is a software salesman. His base salary is 2300, and he makes an additional $90 for every copy of History is Fun 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 23 copies of History is Fun.

Answer 1

Equation

P = 2300 + 90(N)

Total payment after selling 23 copies of History is Fun.

P= 2300 + 90(23)

P= 2300 + 2070 (Multiplying)

P= 4370 (Adding)

The answer is $4370
