Answer:

20 sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = x² + 18x – 160

Here p(x) represents the net pay.

Given that p(x), net pay is $600

x² + 18x – 160 = 600

x² + 18x – 160 - 600 = 0

x² + 18x – 760 = 0

x² +38x - 20x - 760 = 0

x(x+38) - 20(x+38) = 0

(x-20)(x+38) = 0

x = -38, 20

x = 20

Therefore, she makes 20 sales in order to make $600.
