Answer 1

The total comission on the sale was $375.

Explanation:

Since the salesperson sold the car for $12,300, the total comission on the sale would be equal to the 5% of $10,000 plus the 3% of the remaining amount which would be:

Total comission=(10,000*5%)+(12,500-10000)*(3%)

Total comission=500+(2,500*3%)

Total comission=300+75

Total comission=375

According to this, the answer is that the total comission on the sale was $375.
