First we have to find how much Kyle earned taking to consideration only 38h at work
So 38*14$=532$
Now, to find commission bonus we have to 1200-532=668
Finally, we can find what dollar amount of car Kyle must sell.
We know that 668 is 8% of that number. We can use proportion and cross multiplying, so:
8% ----------- 668
100% --------x
$x= \frac{100*668}{8}=8350$ $ - its the result.
