Question

Felipe is a software salesman. His base salary is $2100 and he makes an additional $70 for every copy of math is fun he sells. Let P represent his total pay in dollars and let N represent the number of copies of math is fun he sells. Write an equation relating P to N. Then use this equation to find his total pay if he sells 27 copies of math is fun.

Answer 1

It is given that P is his total pay and N is the number of math is fun he sells.

It is also given that his base salary is $2100 and he gets $70 for every copy of math is fun he sells.

So the equation is:

`P=2100+70N`

So the equation is P=2100+70N.

If he sells 27 copies of math is fun then his pay will be:

`P=2100+70(27)=3990`

He gets paid $3990 if he sells 27 copies of math is fun.
