Each sales person earns 5 percent on total sales and there are 2 sales persons. So total commission earned by them--> 5000*5%*2= 500
Commission earned by the sales manager= 1750-500= 1250
Commission earned by the sales manager as a percentage of total sales= 1250/5000 = 25%
Answer: A
Commission earned by the sales manager= 1750-500= 1250
Commission earned by the sales manager as a percentage of total sales= 1250/5000 = 25%
Answer: A
