Answer:

14 sales

Step-by-step explanation:

1,200-250=950

70×14=970

We first need to subtract our normal pay out of the expectation.

1200-250=950 dollars

These 950 dollars have to be made from sales, and if each sale gives you 70 dollars, we just need to do simple division.

950/70=about 13.57

This meant that if we get 13 sales, we are not quite there at the goal yet, so we need to round up. Getting 14 as our answer.
