Luke - 18.01.2016 19:06Amount earned by Adam per item sold = $18 Base salary of Adam per week is $130 Amount that needs to be earned by Sharon per week = $958 the number of items sold by Sharon per week = x Then 130 + 18x = 958 18x = 958 - 130 18x = 828 x = 828/18 = 46 So Adam needs to sell 46 items to earn a total of $958 per week.
