    A commission rate of 31%.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let C represent commission rate he earned.

    The equation therefore becomes 26,610 + C*79,200 = 51,162

    Then solve for C by first subtracting 26,610 from both sides;

    79,200C = 51,162 - 26,610

    79,200C = 24,552

    Next, divide both sides by 79,200 to get;

    C=24,552 / 79,200

    C = 0.31 or 31%

    Therefore, Demetrius earned a commission rate of 31%.
