#w=34,250#

Explanation:

Solve #0.4w+0.32(4000-w)=0.67(6000)#

Expand the left-hand side.

#0.4w+1280-0.32w=0.67(6000)#

Expand the right-hand side.

#0.4w+1280-0.32w=4020#

Subtract #1280# from both sides.

#0.4w-0.32w=4020-1280#

Simplify both sides

#0.08w=2740#

Divide both sides by #0.08#.

#w=34,250#
