    Given:

    salary of 1,200 a month plus 3% of the sales price.

    a) The total of the sales prices of all the vehicles Sid sold during the first month on the job was $72000. What was Sid's income?

    72,000 x 3% = 2,160 commission

    1,200 + 2,160 = 3,360

    b) In order to make $6000 in a single month, how much selling must Sid do?

    6,000 - 1,200 = 4,800

    4,800 / 3% = 160,000 per month.

    c) Write a linear equation that expresses Sid's monthly income y in terms of the value x of the vehicles Sid sold

    y = 1,200 + 3%x; where x is the sales price of every vehicle sold.
