Before we answer the question, we should convert into a decimal: = .

We can then substitute this value into the original question:

To start, we need to convert the percent into a decimal.

Now, we know that Lucy receives 17% of the value of the homes she sells as her commission. Her commission can then be written as the expression .

Lucy is also paid \$1000 regardless of if she sells any houses or not that month. In a linear equation, this would be our y-intercept.

Putting the pieces of the salary together, we get the following equation:

Based on the information given in the question, we know that . Since we also know the values of length and width , however, we don't need to use the area equation to solve for and , since the perimeter .

Substituting in the known values of and :

We can then substitute this value into the original question:

We can write the following equation to represet Jimmy's salary:

Because we know Jimmy sold \$1920 this month, we can plug it into the above equation.

Now, convert the percent into a decimal to find how much Jimmy made this month.

Before we can write an equation, we need to turn the percent into a decimal.

Now, we can write the following equation:

Divide both sides by .

First, we need to convert into a decimal.

Then, we can write the following equation using the information given in the question:

,

where is our unknown number.

Now, solve for

Before we can write an equation, we need to turn the percent into a decimal.

Now, we can write the following equation:

Divide both sides by .
