First you have to calculate 3 days of wages. So take your $9,470 times 3/5, which will be your adjusting entry amount. Your accounts will be Wages Expense and Wages Payable.

For the actual payment of wages your accounts will be Cash for 5 days of wages, wages Expense for 2 days of wages(Thur and Fri), and Wages Payable for 3 days of wages(Mon - Wed)
