Answer 1

You know that "P" represents her total pay (in dollars) and "N" represents the number of copies of English is Fun Jane sales.

According to the information given in the exercise, Jane makes $110 for every copy of English is Fun, then you can set up the following expression for this:

`(110)(N)=110N`

Knowing that her base salary is $1500, you can conclude that her total pay "P" will be the sum of her base salary and the amount of money she makes for every copy she sells. Based on this, you can write the following equation relateion "P" to "N":

`P=1500+110N`

If Jane sales 29 copies of English is Fun, then:

`N=29`

Substituting this value into the equation and evaluating, you get:

`\begin{gathered} P=1500+(110)(29) \\ P=1500+3190 \\ P=4690 \end{gathered}`

The answers

- Equation:

`P=1500+110N`

- Solution:

`P=4690`

Her total pay if she sells 29 copies of English is Fun, is $4690
