Kala is a software saleswoman. Her base salary is $1800, and she makes an additional $110 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.
Equation:

Total pay if Kala sells 29 copies: s[

Answer 1

1800 + 110n = P

4990 * 8 = 39,920

Explanation:

So first, the best way to solve linear word problems is to define your variables (which was given to you)

Second, construct your equation. From the information, we know that $1,800 is her starting amount. So that will be the y-intercept. Then, we see that she gets additional $110 for every copy she sells.
