Candice has been hired as a saleswoman. She is paid a flat rate of $425 each week and earns an additional $17.75 commission for each sale. If her goal is to make $993 in one week, which equation will help Candice determine the number of sales (s) she must make?

$993 = $425s – $17.75
$993 = $425s + $17.75
$993 = $17.75s – $425
$993 = $17.75s + $425
