Answer:

$2,065

Explanation:

The computation of the commission earned by Sam is shown below:

For each sale, he gets 7% commission

So,

For $12,000, the commission amount is

= $12,000 × 0.07

= $840

And, for another sale i.e. $17,500, the commission amount is

= $17,500 × 0.07

= $1,225

So, the total commission he earned is

= $840 + $1,225

= $2,065
