As a salary, Alexis gets  15.25*20   dollars per week.


As a commission, she gets 0.035*x  dollars, where x is the sales per week.


She wants the total be 450 dollars per week.


It gives you this equation


    15.25*20 + 0.035x = 450.


Now you should solve this equation and find x from it.

You are instructed.

From this point, boldly go forward and complete this task on your own.
