I thought there's a missing data here, and that is <font color=blue>number of hours</font> he's working to earn $1200.00?


Anyway, based  it on <font color=blue>8-hour</font> work time.


Let <font color=blue>x</font> = sales
Then it follows,
{{{(14/cross(hr))(8*cross(hrs)) + 0.08(x)= 1200.00}}}, EQN 1
{{{112+0.08x=1200}}}
{{{0.08x=1200-112=1088}}}
{{{cross(0.08)x/cross(0.08)=cross(1088)13600/cross(0.08)}}}
<font color=red>x = $13,600.00</font> The total sales he has  to make in 8 hours.


Let's check:
8% of $13,600 = (0.08)(13600)= <font color=blue>$1,088.00  Plus</font>
$14.00/hr in 8 hours = (0.14)(8) = <font color=blue>$112.00  Equals </font>
<font color=red>$1200.00</font>


Thank you,
