11+.8X=23
.8X=23-11
.8X=12
X=12/.8

The hourly wage for an employee is 11$ per hour plus an additional $.80 for every unit produced during the hour.The employee earned a total of $23 during the first hour. How many units were produced in that hour?
--------------------------------
Wage = 11 +0.8x where x is the number of units produced
23 = 11+0.8x
0.8x = 12
x = 15
