Answer:

$21,333.33

Explanation:

This question contains two steps. First, we need to find what 10% of $320,000 is.

Lets change 10% into a decimal:

10% ->
(10)/(100) -> 0.10

Now, multiply $320,000 by 0.10


x=320,000(0.10)


x=32,000

The second part of the problem needs us to find 2/3 of the $32,000.

Multiply $32,000 by 2/3


x=32,000((2)/(3))


x=21,333.33

Jen makes $21,333.33 on her sale.
