Answer:

$55,054

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for how much must the real estate sell for

Sales price =($50,000 + 1,200)/(100% - 7%)

Sales price=$51,200/0.93

Sales price =$55,053.76

Sales price =$55,054 (Approximately)

Therefore the amount that the real estate must sell for if the selling costs include a 7% commission and $1,200 in other expenses will be $55,054
