Total is 204
She guarantees a pay of 150. She gets $2 per call so it will be 2x (2 being the value and x being the calls)
Set this into an equation: 2x+150=204
So now we subtract 150 from both sides to leave 2x alone
2x+150 - 150 = 204 -150
You are now left with: 2x=54
Now she gets $2 per call. Divide 2 into both sides to get x alone.
54 divided by 2 equals 27.
ANSWER: X=27 CALLS
