Answer:

Option B. $6800

Step-by-step explanation:

A real state agent earns a weekly salary of $200.

This week agent sold a home for $120000 and earned a commission of 5.5%.

So weekly earnings of the agent = weekly salary + commission on the sales of  a home

= $200 + 5.5% of 120000

= [tex]200+(\frac{5.5}{100})(120000)[/tex]

= [tex]200+(5.5)(1200)=200+6600[/tex]

= $6800

Therefore agent's earning for the week was $6800.

Option B. $6800 is the answer.
