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.

1 answer

p = 1700 + 80n

To find her total pay if she sells 23 copies of English is Fun, substitute n = 23 into the equation:
p = 1700 + 80(23)
p = 1700 + 1840
p = 3540

Therefore, her total pay would be $3540 if she sells 23 copies of English is Fun.
