Answer:
The selling sales associate received $2,700
Explanation:
The final number was 180 thousand dollars. Then the MLS chared 5% of the total sale. Thus, 9 thousand dollars is the commission. Now, the commission was divided again and the sales associate received 50% of the listing office's commission. So those 9000 are divided in 2 and we get 4500 which then are divided and the selling sales associate receives the 60% of that amount or 2700 dollars.
