Then use this equation to find her total pay if she sells 23 copies of English is Fun.
find the equation

1 answer

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.
