Henry was paid $2 for every watch he sold, he was also paid $15 for every 20 watches he sold.if he earned $254 altogether how many watches he sold


For every 80 watches he sells he makes $120 so if he sells 160 watches he earns $240 dollars now in order to get the rest of the amount you have to figure out how many more watches he has to sell to get a grand total of $254

he sold 97 watches
