Answer 1

Answer: c. $4668.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sales = $513000

Sales made by an individual = 14% of $513000

Sales made by an individual =
`(14)/(100)* 513000`

Sales made by an individual = $71280

Commission made on this sales = 6.5% of $71280

Commission made on this sales =
`(6.5)/(100)* 71280`

Commission made on this sales = $4668.30
