    Answer: a) $80 b) $1900

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a) change in Yolanda total pay y, for each 'English is fun' sold x, i. e ∆y/∆x = dy/dx

    y = 1900+80x

    differentiating the equation above

    dy/dx = 80

    Therefore, dy/dx = $80

    change in Yolanda total pay y, for each 'English is fun' sold x, is $80

    b) if she doesn't sell any copy of ' English is fun ', x=0

    Therefore,

    y = 1900 + 80x

    Substituting x = 0, into the equation above

    y = 1900 = $1900

    Therefore her total pay is $1900 if she did not sell any ' English is fun'
