Its 26.315% or rounded to 26.32% commission

Explanation; you take the total of the car, and then divide that by the exact amount Ken earned leaving you with the commission

18,250 ÷ 693.50 = 26.315789474 (normally using only the first two decimals when counting money, rounded to the nearest tenth) leaving you with 26.32
