I thought there's a missing data here, and that is number of hours he's working to earn $1200.00?

Anyway, based it on 8-hour work time.

Let x = sales
Then it follows,
, EQN 1

x = $13,600.00 The total sales he has to make in 8 hours.

Let's check:
8% of $13,600 = (0.08)(13600)= $1,088.00 Plus
$14.00/hr in 8 hours = (0.14)(8) = $112.00 Equals
$1200.00

Thank you,
Jojo
