Installment sale of Raw land

I bought a raw land in 2015 for $66671 and sold it in 2024 for $231000 with a 2 years installment loan. I had a total selling expense of $28000 and agreed that the buyer pays $50,000 in 2024 and $81000 in 2025 and the rest as down payment. In calculating the long term capital gains, do I use the selling price of $231000 as the denominator to figure out the 2024 gain which is 1-(50000/231000) = 1- 0.21 =79%   79% x $50000= $39500

or, do I need to subtract the selling expense from the selling price in figuring out 2024 gain which is 1-(50000/$231000 -$28000) = 1-.37 = 63% which gives me a total 2024 gain of .63 x $50,000 = $$31500

Please advice. Also, do I need to fill out any other form beside IRA 6252 and schedule D?
