To find out how much Jackson will be paid per week, you can multiply his hourly wage by the number of hours he works in a week.
Jackson's hourly wage: $12.50
Hours worked per week: 12
Calculation:
\( 12.50 \times 12 = 150.00 \)
So, Jackson will be paid **$150.00** per week.

First, we already know that Jackson makes $150.00 per week. Now, we can calculate how much he saves each week by taking 65% of his weekly earnings.
1. Calculate 65% of his weekly pay:
\[
0.65 \times 150.00 = 97.50
\]
2. Now, multiply that amount by the number of weeks he saves (6 weeks):
\[
97.50 \times 6 = 585.00
\]
Thus, after 6 weeks, Jackson will have saved **$585.00**.

To calculate the total cost of the PS5 and the discounted controller, follow these steps:
1. **Calculate the discount on the controller:**
- Original price of the controller: $74.99
- Discount: 50% of $74.99
\[
0.50 \times 74.99 = 37.495
\]
- So, the discounted price of the controller will be:
\[
74.99 - 37.495 = 37.495 \quad (\text{which we can round to } 37.50 \text{ for convenience})
\]
2. **Add the price of the PS5 and the discounted controller:**
- Price of the PS5: $499.99
- Discounted price of the controller: $37.50
\[
499.99 + 37.50 = 537.49
\]
So, the total cost before tax is **$537.49**.
