Answer: you will earn $1300

Step-by-step explanation:

You earn 5% commission on all sales, plus a $400 salary each week. This means that in a week in which you made x sales, the amount of pay that you would get is expressed as

400 + (5/100) = 40 + 0.05x

If you sold $10,000 worth of merchandise in a two-week period, your commission would be

5/100 × 10000 = 500

Therefore, the total amount of pay that you will earn for that pay period is

400 + 400 + 500 = $1300
