For the first $10,000 of sales, the commission is $1400. For the remaining $55,000, since the commission is $700 for each additional $10,000 or part thereof, this amounts to 6 additional parts (as $55,000 is 5 full $10,000 parts plus an additional partial part). Thus, the commission for the additional sales is $700 * 6 = $4200. Adding this to the initial $1400 gives a total commission of $5600.
