    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the total sales for wrapping paper be represented by variable x

    Amount the school keeps is half of total sales x, minus $300. Written as an equation, that would be; 0.5x - 300

    If the schools wants to earn $5000, this amount would be equal to the above equation of what it keeps;

    0.5x - 300 = 5000

    add 300 to both sides;

    0.5x = 5000+300

    0.5x = 5300

    divide both sides by 0.5 and solve for x;

    x=5300 / 0.5

    x = 10,600

    Therefore, they need to sell $10,600 worth of wrapping paper.
