6) Commission on first $50,000 sale = 5%
Commission after $50,000 sale = 8%
Sale = $80,000.00
Total commission = ?
✔ Solution:
This is a
tiered commission structure.
- First $50,000 → 5% commission
→ 0.05 × 50,000 =
$2,500
- Remaining amount = $80,000 – $50,000 =
$30,000
→ 8% commission on this part
→ 0.08 × 30,000 =
$2,400
Total Commission = 2,500 + 2,400 =
$4,900.00
>
Explanation: Split the sale into tiers and apply the respective commission rate to each tier.
