Solution

To find the commission rate, you need to divide the commission by the total sales and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

Here are the steps:

  1. Divide the commission by the total sales: 400/400 / 2500 = 0.16
  2. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage: 0.16 * 100 = 16%

So, the commission rate is 16%.
