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?

• A. $6,000
• B. $4,500
• C. $7,500
• D. $9,000

Answer: (B)

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.
