Question

Chris has just sold a home valued at $85,000. Her

normal commission for the homes that she sells
is 8%. Determine the amount that Chris will make
on the sale of the $85,000 home.

Answer 1

Amount of Chris' commission = $6800

Explanation:

Given that:

Value of the house sold by Chris = $85,000

Percent of Chris' commission = 8%

Amount of Chris' commission = 8% of 85000

Amount of commission =
`(8)/(100)*85000`

Commission = 0.08 * 85000

Commission = $6800

Hence,

Amount of Chris' commission = $6800
