Answer:

6200

Step-by-step explanation:

first find how much she would make purely based on hours worked:

8x40 = 320 dollars

next subtract this from total on her paycheck so 692-320 is 372

we know that 372 is 6% of a number so...

[tex]\frac{6}{100}[/tex] x = 372

[tex]\frac{6x}{100}[/tex] = 372

6x= 37200(100)

x=6200 $ divide by 6

so she sold $6200 worth of merchandise to earn $372 of commission
