A real estate broker sold your house for $189,000. The broker's commission was 4.5 percent of the selling price. How much would you get for the house after the commission is paid?

Respuesta :

First, we are going to find the commission of the broker. To do that we are going to multiply  the selling price of your house by 4.5 percent:
[tex]189000*[/tex]4.5%=[tex]189000* \frac{4.5}{100}=8505 [/tex]

Next we are going to subtract the broker's commission ($8505) from the selling price of your house:
[tex]189000-8505=180495[/tex]

We can conclude that you will get $180,495 from your house after the commission is paid.
