Question

Heather is a software saleswoman. her base salary is 1900, and she makes an additional $40 for every copy of math is fun she sells.

let P represent her total pay (in dollars) and N represent the number of copies of math is fun she sells. write and equation relating P to N and use this equation to find her total pay if she sells 27 copies of math is fun. ​

Answer 1

`P = 1900 + 40N`

`P = 2980` when N = 27

Explanation:

Given

`Base\ Salary = 1900`

`Additional = 40` per copy

Solving (a): Her total pay (P)

This is represented by:

`P = Base\ Salary + Additional * N`

`P = 1900 + 40 * N`

`P = 1900 + 40N`

Solving (b): Total pay when N = 27

Substitute 27 for N

`P = 1900 + 40 * 27`

`P = 1900 + 1080`

`P = 2980`
