How much will Kosumi be paid if he sells 420 glow sticks? & How many glow sticks did Kosumi sell if he earned $733.80?

FYI: I currently need help. So you see I only need help in writing this into an equation. I can solve everything else I tend to have trouble with word problems.




Kosumi got a job selling glow sticks at the local star wars convention. He is paid a fixed amount of $180 per week plus $0.78 per item sold. This is represented by the equation  P=0.78n+180 =0.78+180 where P is the amount he is paid for the week and n is the number of glow sticks he sold.



If Kosumi sells 420 glow sticks, he will earn $_______ for the week.

If Kosumi has earned $733.80, he sold _________ glow sticks

Since you are given P = 0.78n + 180, it looks like you just need to plug in 420 since this is n, the number of glow sticks he sells and then solve for P. In the next question since you are given his earnings of 733.80 it looks like you can plug that in for P and then solve for n.
