<h3>Word Problem</h3>

These are verbal expressions used to represent mathematical problems and if we want to solve them, we must translate them into equations.

If his total pay is $3650 and he earns a commission of $12 for every $100 coffee sold.

How many coffee case are inside $100

$100/25=4$

This shows that for every 4 coffee case sold, she made ($100 + $12) as profit.

If 4 coffee = $112

how many coffee will give us $3650

$4coffee=$112\\x coffee = $3650\\x = \frac{4*3650}{112} \\x = 130.35$

From the calculations above, he must've sold at least 131 cups of coffee to make $3650.
