Answer 1

help?

Answer 2

I'm only guessing, since this problem statement is not exactly dripping with clarity, that we have a Base Salary and a Commission.

B = Base Salary
C - Commission Rate

"if she sells $500of merchandise in one month she is paid $385"

B + 500*C = 385

"If she sell $1,000 worth of merchandise in one month, she is paid $470"

B + 1000*C = 470

Your task is to solve for B and C.

Of course, this is just my guess. A better problem statement would help answer the right question.
