Shanda has a job which pays her an hourly rate each week plus a bonus each time she makes a sale. Last week, Shanda made 15 sales and earned $80 in hourly pay. This week, she made 22 sales and earned $31 in hourly pay. If Shanda was paid the same amount for both weeks, how much was the bonus for each sale?

15x + 80 = 22x + 31
7x = 49
x = 7
The bonus was $7
