Not quite what I had in mind.  Maybe I should be more clear.

What you just listed was:

Social worker income: Amount
Part time hourly wage: Rate
Commission: Rate

What you need is 

Social worker income: Amount
Part time hourly wage: Amount
Commission: Amount

Part time hourly wage is $7.50 per hour.  How many hours?  How much in total?
Commission is 10% of sales.  How much in sales?  How much in total?
