So, this is the equation I came up with - same as yours? (X equals weekly sales)

$$10.25*12+.035*X=150$$

Sorry, got busy there - well, it looks like you've got the right answer then.
10.25*12 = 123
So...
123 + .035X = 150
.035X = 150 -123
.035X = 27
X = 771.42 (I'd round it to 772 so she needs to sell $772 to make her $150 total)
