What if I’m finding the Gross Earnings...the given is:

total sales: 42, 000,
commission rate: 8%(0.08),
amount of commission: 42, 00(0.08)= 3, 360. Salary: 12, 000
overrides: no overrides,
gross earnings:???
Is it 12, 000 - 3, 360 = 8, 640, the right solution?

I am confused how to solve for this, pls i need your help
