Final answer:

Jen at Best Buy earns a total of $739 weekly, which includes $400 from her hourly wage and $339 from her 6% commission on sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jen at Best Buy earns $10 an hour plus a 6% commission on her sales. To calculate her total weekly earnings, we need to determine her hourly earnings and commission earnings and then add them together.

First, she worked a 40-hour work week, so her earnings from her hourly rate are:

40 hours * $10/hour = $400

Next, her commission is 6% of her total sales of $5,650 which is calculated as:

6% * $5,650 = 0.06 * $5,650 = $339

Finally, to find her total weekly earnings, we add her hourly earnings to her commission earnings:

$400 + $339 = $739

Therefore, Jen's total weekly earnings are $739.
