Givens

Work week = 40 hours

Paid 7.50 an hour.

Sells 6300 worth of goods.

Equation

Take home pay = Sales * 5% + 7.50 * number of hours.

Sub and Solve

Take home pay = 6300 * 5% + 7.50 * 40

Take home pay = 6300 * 5/100 + 7.50 * 40

Take home pay = 315 + 300

Take home pay = 615 dollars.

Answer 615 <<<<
