What are linear equations?

Linear equations are equations that have constant average rates of change. Note that the constant average rates of change can also be regarded as the slope or the gradient

How to determine the solution to the system?

A system of linear equations is a collection of at least two linear equations.

In this case, the given parameters are:

Guarantee fee = $250 per week

Commission = 15%

Let the total sales be x and the total amount be y

So, we have:

y = Guarantee fee + Commission * x

This gives

y = 250 + 15% * x

The total sales is $2050

This gives

y = 250 + 15% * 2050

Evaluate

y = 557.5

Hence, Piper would make $557.5 in a week in which she made $2050 in sales
