How can Alissa calculate the amount of money she will keep after selling a $250,000 home? Multiply $250,000 by 0.25. Multiply $250,000 by 0.03. Multiply $250,000 by 0.03, and then multiply again by 0.75. Multiply $250,000 by 0.28.

Answer 1

C

Answer 2

Answer: Third option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Selling price of home = $250,000

Rate of commission on each sale she get = 3%

Rate of commission pays for expenses = 25%

So, Firstly amount she get on home sale would be

`(3)/(100)* 250,000\\\\=0.03* 250,000\\\\=\$7,500`

Amount after paying for expenses would be

`7500* (100-25)/(100)\\\\=7500* (75)/(100)\\\\=7500* 0.75\\\\=5,625`

Hence, Multiply $250,000 by 0.03, and then multiply again by 0.75 is correct.

Therefore, Third option is correct.
