    Answer: her total sales would be $24167

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The basic pay that Norma Jean makes is $25 per hour.

    Let x represent the total amount of sales that she makes in a week.

    She works 35 hours per week. She gets a commission of 15% on her total sales. This means that the amount that she gets as commission if she makes sales worth $x in a week would be

    15/100 * x = 0.15 * x = 0.15x

    Therefore, if she makes total sales of $x in a week, her total pay would be

    35 * 25 + 0.15x

    = 875 + 0.15x

    Therefore, to to make $4,500 in a single week, her total sales would be

    4500 = 875 + 0.15x

    0.15x = 4500 - 875 = 3625

    x = 3625/0.15

    x = $24167
