(b) If Juan's total pay is $4610, how many copies did he sell?

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a) $3840   (b) 33 copies

Explanation:

Note: Here P refers to total money earned, c refers to copies sold.

(a)

using the given equation:

P = 2300 + 70c

P = 2300 + 70(22)

P = 2300 + 1540

P = 3840

Juan's total pay is $3840 if he sells 22 copies.

(b)

2300 + 70c = 4610

70c = 4610 - 2300

70c = 2310

c = 33

He sold 33 copies to earn total $4610.
