Español

Dale is a software salesman. His base salary is S1800, and he makes an additional S90 for every copy of English is Fun he sells.
Let P represent his total pay (in dollars), and let N represent the number of copies of English 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 English is Fun.

Answer 1

• P = 90N +1800
• $3870

Explanation:

For sales of N copies at $90 each, 90N is added to Dale's base salary of $1800.

P = 90N +1800

__

For N=23, Dale's salary would be ...

P = 90(23) +1800 = 2070 +1800 = 3870

Dale's total pay for selling 23 copies would be $3870.
