Work in tiers.
If sales exceed the first tier: commission 30000*3%=$900
Subtract the first tier and calculate on the next:
130000-30000=100000
All of it goes on 7%, so
100000*5%=$5000
So he gets $5000+$900=$5900 in commission.

Jim made the full $30,000 for the first tier, so $30,000 x 3% = $900. He also made the full amount for the second tier. The amount of sales between $30,001 and $110,000 is $80,000 so take $80,000 x 5% = $4,000. Moving onto the third tier, Jim sold $20,000 over the $110,000 mark, so take $20,000 x 7% = $1,400. Add his commission amounts together, so $900 + $4,000 + $1,400 = $6,300.
