Question

jimmy is a real estate agent, and he earns a 2.5% commission for the sale of a home. He just sold a home for $270,000. How much is his commission?

Answer 1

Hello there! So, he sells a home worth $270,000 and gets 2.5% of that price as commission. In order to find the amount of commission he gets from selling that home, all you have to do is multiply the price by the percent, because commission is a small portion of the sold price. 270,000 * 2.5% (0.025) is 6,750. There. Jimmy's commission is $6,750.

Answer 2

$6750 is his comission

Explanation:

In order to calculate his comission you just have to do a rule of three, so if $270,000 is the 100% then how much will it be the 2.5%?

So it would be like this:

`(270,00)/(100)= (x)/(2.5) \\x=(270,000*2.5)/(100)\\ x=(6´750,000)/(100)\\ x=6,750`

So his comission will be $6,750
