This might be a double definition.

'representative' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'less money?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'having' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for broker that I've seen before include "intermediary" , "Middleman, dealer" , "One acts as an agent for others in buying and selling" , "A dealer in stocks and shares" , "See 7" .)
