+220 Floyd is an aspiring music artist. He has a record contract that pays him a base rate of $200 a month and an additional $12 for each album that he sells. Last month he earned a total of $644.
Write an equation to determine the number of albums (a) Floyd sold last month.

+188 1. Subtract $200 from $644 to find the amount of money Floyd recieved from album sales. 644-200=444
