Question

Dan is a software salesman. His base salary is $2200, and he makes an additional $120 for every copy of History is Fun he sells.Let P represent his total pay (in dollars), and let N represent the number of copies of History 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 History is Fun.

Answer 1

We will have the following:

The equation in this case is:

`P=120N+2200`

So, if he sells 23 copies, he will make:

`P(23)=120(23)+2200\Rightarrow P(23)=4960`

So, he would make $4960.
