I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what the equation should be so I may solve it.
n=14/hr+0.08s Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
You know how much his hourly wages amounted to, simply 14 time 38. Subtract this amount from 1200 and the remainder is the amount that must be accounted for by her commission. Divide the required difference by 0.08 to get the sales amount.
