Answer; c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c = 17 inches
a = 8 inches
b^2 = c^2 – a^2
b^2 = 17^2 – 8^2
b^2 = 289 – 64
b^2 = 225
b = square root of 225
b = 15 inches ≈ c.

In this item, we will be able to form a system of linear equation which are shown below,
292 = 400x + y
407 = 900x + y
where x is the percent of the commission that he gets and y is the wage. The values of x and y from the equations are 0.23 and 200. This means that Justin earns a fixed wage of 200 per day and a commission which is equal to 23%.
Substituting the known values to the equation,
S = (0.23)(3200) + 200 = 936.
Therefore, Justin could have earned $936 had he sold $3,200 worth of merchandise.
