6h +1.25S = 88

6(8) +1.25S = 88
1.25S = 88 - 48
1.25S = 40

Divide both sides by 1.25....

S = 32 ..... so sales made during the day equal 32.

The number of sales you made during the day is 32.

Given that,

  • The per hour rate is $6.
  • Also for each sale made the additional rate is $1.25.
  • The earnings for 8 hour day is $88.
  • H denotes the hours, S denotes the sales.

Based on the above information, the no of sales you made is

Here the equation should be

6h +1.25S = 88

6(8) +1.25S = 88

1.25S = 88 - 48

1.25S = 40

S = 32

Therefore we can conclude that the number of sales you made during the day is 32.
