Before we can solve this problem, we need to create a formula that calculates the total amount of Tristen's payment. The formula would be the following,

Where:

Now that we have the formula we can plug in the values from the question and then solve for the rate of commission (r)

.... subtract 31,050 on both sides

.... divide both sides by 97,200

Now we can see that the commission rate is 0.29 or 29%
