Answer:

you must make 8250 sale in a week

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of sale be x

let the total amount earned be y

The first job

7% of x= 0.07x

y=0.07x----------------1

The second job

$330

3% of x= 0.03x

y=330+0.03x-------------2

equating 1 and 2 we have

0.07x=330+0.03x

solving for x we have

330=0.07x-0.03x

330=0.04x

divide both sides by 0.04 we have

330/0.04=x

x=8250

you must make 8250 sale in a week
