Serenity works in a department store selling clothing. She makes a guaranteed salary of $300 per week, but is paid a commision on top of her base salary equal to 25% of her total sales for the week. How much would Serenity make in a week in which she made $1075 in sales? How much would Serenity make in a week if she made x dollars in sales?
