To calculate Seth's commission, we need to determine the amount of sales that fall under the first $1,000 and the amount of sales that fall above $1,000.
Amount of sales under $1,000: $1,000 * 10% = $100
Amount of sales above $1,000: $2,500 - $1,000 = $1,500
Commission on amount above $1,000: $1,500 * 15% = $225
Total commission = Commission on amount under $1,000 + Commission on amount above $1,000 = $100 + $225 = $325
Therefore, Seth's total commission was $325.
