Answer:
6.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{116875}{125000}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{187}{200}[/tex] = 0.935
0.935 -------> move the decimal point 2 places to the right ----> 93.5%
The man received 93.5%, meaning the broker received the rest.
100% - 93.5% = 6.5%
The brokers commission percentage was 6.5%
