**** MISSING DATA ******
If we let x=Sales, y=earnings
It follows Salary per month:
BaseSalary%2B0.02x=y
1200%2B0.02x=y
0.02x=y-1200
cross%280.02%29x%2Fcross%280.02%29=%28y-1200%29%2F0.02
x=%28y-1200%29%2F0.02, CAN'T CONTINUE, NO VALUE FOR y, (earnings)
* If you have the value just substitute it to the eqn and get the total sales for the month.
Thank you,
