Amy is a software saleswoman. Her base salary is $1700, and she makes an additional $80 for every copy of English is Fun she sells.
let p represent her total pay (in dollars), and let n represent the number of copies of English is Fun she sells. Write an equation relating p to n
Then use this equation to find her total pay if she sells 23 copies of English is Fun.
find the equation
The equation relating p to n is: p = 1700 + 80n.
To find Amy's total pay if she sells 23 copies of English is Fun, we can substitute n = 23 into the equation:
p = 1700 + 80(23)
p = 1700 + 1840
p = 3540
Therefore, Amy's total pay if she sells 23 copies of English is Fun is $3540.
The equation relating Amy's total pay (p) to the number of copies of English is Fun she sells (n) can be written as:
p = 1700 + 80n
To find her total pay if she sells 23 copies of English is Fun, substitute n = 23 into the equation and solve for p:
p = 1700 + 80(23)
p = 1700 + 1840
p = 3540
Therefore, Amy's total pay will be $3540 if she sells 23 copies of English is Fun.
To write the equation relating p to n, we need to consider that Amy's total pay is composed of her base salary of $1700 plus the additional commission she earns from selling copies of "English is Fun."
Since she earns $80 for every copy of "English is Fun" she sells, we can write the equation as follows:
p = 1700 + 80n
Here, p represents her total pay in dollars, and n represents the number of copies of "English is Fun" she sells.
To find her total pay if she sells 23 copies of "English is Fun," we substitute n = 23 into the equation:
p = 1700 + 80(23)
p = 1700 + 1840
p = 3540
Therefore, if Amy sells 23 copies of "English is Fun," her total pay will be $3540.
