The answer is: Each salesperson will receive $1,250

Explanation:

The total commission for this sales operation is $10,000 that will be split equally between the two brokers, so each broker will get $5,000. If the broker hired a salesperson and will pay him 25% of their commission, you must multiply $5,000 x 25% to find out the salesperson's earnings. For this sale it is $1,250.
