Question

A realtor earns 3% commission on a home she sells.

If she receives $6,000 in commission, what was the price of the home?

Answer 1

The answer is 200000

Answer 2

Answer: $ 200,000

Step-by-step explanation: The 6000 is 3% of the original price, so 6000/3 = x/100. To find the price of the home we will need to cross multiply and divide.

6000/3 = x/100

6000 * 100 = 600000

600000 / 3 = 200,000
