Answer: 6520

You have the correct answer. Nice work.
===================================================
Work Shown:

hourly pay = $13 an hour
number of hours = 40
pay so far = 13*40 = 520 dollars

Now we consider the commission
He sold $120,000 worth of cars. He earned 5% of that as commission, so he earns an extra 0.05*120000 = 6000 dollars

This leads to the total 6000+520 = 6520
