Question

bea earned $ 11,700.00 commission for selling a house calculated at 6/100 of the selling price. what was the selling price of the house?

Answer 1

Given:

Commision earned = $11,700

The commission was calculated at 6/100 of the selling price.

To find the selling price of the house, we have the equation:

$11700=\frac{6}{100}S$

Where S represents the selling price of the house.

Let's solve for S.

Multiply both sides of the equation by 100:

$\begin{gathered} 11700(100)=\frac{6}{100}S\ast100 \\ \\ 1170000=6S \end{gathered}$

Divide both sides of the equation by 6:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1170000}{6}=\frac{6S}{6} \\ \\ 195000=S \\ \\ S=195000 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the selling price of the house is $195,000

ANSWER:

$195,000
