Laura's encyclopedias
Sponsored by MindSumo

Laura sells encyclopaedias, and her monthly income has two components, a fixed component of $1000, and a variable component of $C for each set of encyclopaedias that she sells in that month over a sales target of n sets, where n>0. How much did she earn in March?

Here are two additional details:

(1) If Laura had sold three fewer sets in March, her income for that month would have been $600 lower than it was.

(2) If Laura had sold 10 sets of encyclopaedias in March, her income for that month would have been over $4000.
