Answer:

$2250

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

Percent markdown = 30%

Origina; selling price = $7500

Commission earned = 30% of 7500

Commission earned = 0.3 * 7500

Commission earned = 2250

Hence the commission that the salesperson earn for selling the boat in the clearance price is $2250
