Commission that a salesman earned       = 1/5 more than ¼ as high as the highest commission earned

Highest and lowest commission               = $819

What was the lowest commission? Let x be the highest commission

Solution will be:

1.2 (1/4x) + x        = $819

1.3x                      = $819

x                          = $630

819 – 630           = $189 is the lowest commission
