Answer:

10,740 money does she ean.

Explanation:

Given: Mrs Miller sells a house for 179,000.

She earns a commission of 6%.

we set up a proportions to find how much she earn.

Let x be the money does she earns then;


(179000)/(100) =(x)/(6)

Simplify:


1790 = (x)/(6)

Multiply both sides by 6 we get;


1790 * 6 = x

Simplify:

x = 10,740

Therefore, she earns money is, 10,740
