2) Create a formula which calculates the commission for each sales rep, using the following rules:
  • For any sales up to £1,000, a sales rep earns 10% commission
  • For sales of £1,000 or more, sales reps earn 20% commission on the whole of the sales they have made
3) Your final answer should look like this:
Exercise screen-shot 300 King, Brown and Baker are the only high-performers
4) Save this as Unfair commission system, then close it down.
