Answer:

$2,975

Explanation:

A commission is a percentage of total sales as determined by the rate of commission. To find the commission on a sale, multiply the rate of commission by the total sales. Just as we did for computing sales tax, remember to first convert the rate of commission from a percent to a decimal.

Hope this helps!

All the love, Ya boi Fraser :)
