Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the average commission, add all the commissions together and then divide by the number of salespeople. The total commission is $12,000 + $32,000 + $50,000 + $20,000 + $22,000 = $136,000. Dividing this total by 5 (the number of salespeople) gives an average commission of $136,000 / 5 = $27,200.
