To find the total commission earned by a salesperson who sells $100,000 worth of computers at a 5% commission rate, we use the formula:
Total Commission=Sales Amount×Commission Rate
Substituting the given values:
Total Commission=100,000×0.05=5,000
Next, we need to calculate 1.5% of the total commission earned. We use the formula:
\text{1.5% of Total Commission} = \text{Total Commission} \times 0.015
Substituting the total commission calculated in Step 1:
\text{1.5% of Total Commission} = 5,000 \times 0.015 = 75
The final answer is:
75
