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.
