Answer:

the selling price of the property is $183,333

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the selling price of the property is as follows:

= (Price ÷ commission percentage) ÷ ( commission percentage)

= ($3,575 ÷ 30%) ÷ (6.5%)

= $183,333.

Hence, the selling price of the property is $183,333

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
