    Amount earned by Sharon per item sold = $25

    Base salary of Sharon per week = $100

    Amount that needs to be earned by Sharon per week = $700

    Let us assume the number of items sold by Sharon per week = x

    Then

    100 + 25x = 700

    25x = 700 - 100

    25x = 600

    x = 600/25

    = 24

    So Sharon needs to sell 24 items to earn a total of $700 per week. I hope you have understood the method of solving such problems.
