Carson's seller client pays a total commission of $15,000. If Trina has a 60/40 commission split, how much will she earn from the transaction?

In a commission split arrangement, the total commission earned from a transaction is divided between the real estate agent and their brokerage according to the specified ratio. In this case, Carson's seller client pays a total commission of $15,000, and Trina has a 60/40 commission split.

To determine how much Trina will earn, we first need to find out how much of the total commission Trina receives based on her split. Since Trina has a 60/40 split, she earns 60% of the commission.

Calculating this involves taking 60% of the total commission:

0.60 (Trina's percentage) × $15,000 (total commission) = $9,000.

So, Trina will earn $9,000 from the transaction under her commission agreement.
