    23.75%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Well,

    in 800, the first 500 receives 20% commission, and the next 800 - 500 = 300 receives 30% commission.

    So,

    500 * 20 % = 500 * 0.2 = $100

    300 * 30% = 300 * 0.3 = $90

    Total commission on $800 is 100 + 90 = $190.

    To find percentage, we divide:

    190/800 = 0.2375 * 100 = 23.75%
