Answer 14

she will have to sell 21 items to cover her costs
y = several units, x = the certain item
(y)x, the certain item times its amount
the several units of a certain item = $336, + $12(y)
(y)x = $336 +$12(y)
She sells the item for $28 each, x = $28
(y)28 = 336 + 12(y)
28y = 336 + 12y
take -12y from each side
28y - 12y = 336
16y = 336
y = 21
