whilst not exceeding 40% of the commercial element.

If the answer you think is correct is indeed correct, then the wording here is odd. You will be exceeding 40% of the commercial element.

You also said "I can only use 40% of the second figure as a total of both figures combined"

To me that literally means that you can only use £5000 of £12500. 40% of the second figure (your words) is 5000.

I am not saying you are wrong, but the wording for all of this is bizarre.

Seems an odd question but maybe the issue is both 40%s?

If the answer is 7600 then I believe in effect the OP is saying
He needs 40% of the total of A and B, but that B itself is included at 40% in the initial calculation.

So (A + 0.4 B)*0.4

At least thats how I take the wording to mean if the answer is 7600.
But I am not 100% convinced thats the correct end result from what the OP wrote.

The same conclusion could be had by 0.4 A + (0.4x0.4 =0.16)B

Maybe one or both of the 40% elements can change.

You don’t know who Lloyd Christmas is……the shame.

Is the restriction actually that no more than 40% of your rent income can be from commercial rent (for affordability purposes)?

Yes precisely
