Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
So, Nikki earns $12 per hour.
And she also earns a 5% or 0.05 commission of her total sales each day.
On Saturday, she worked eight hours and she earned $139. In other words, she earned 8(12) or $96 from working her hours and another $43 (139-96) from her commission.
Thus:
Where x represents Nikki's total sales on Saturday.
Further notes:
To solve, subtract 96 from both sides and divide by 0.05:
Thus, her total sales that day were $860.
