ICE2 Auto Sale Commission

Salespeople for used cars are compensated using a commission system. The commission is based on the cost incurred for the vehicle:

Commissions = Commission rate * (Sales price Cost value)

The form will allow the user to enter the salespersons name, the selling price of the vehicle, and the cost value of the vehicle. Use a constant of 20 percent for the commission rate.
