Answer:

$650

Explanation:

5% of 5000 is 250. 250 + 400 = 650.

You would have earned $650 last week.

well, is simply $400 plus 5% of $5000


\begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{\textit{\LARGE a}\% of \textit{\LARGE b}}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{\textit{\LARGE a}}{100} \right)\cdot \textit{\LARGE b} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{5\% of 5000}}{\left( \cfrac{5}{100} \right)5000}\implies 250\hspace{5em}\underset{ \textit{total earnings} }{\stackrel{400~~ + ~~250 }{\text{\LARGE 650}}}
