Question

A real estate agent earns a 6% commission on each property she sells. If she sells a detached house for $200,000 and a cottage for $180,000, how much commission will she earn?

Answer 1

380,000 times 6%=22,800

Answer 2

Answer: She earned $ 22,800 commission.

Explanation:

Since, she sells a detached house for $200,000 and a cottage for $180,000,

Thus, her total selling = $200,000 + $180,000

= $ 380,000

Also, she earns a 6% commission on each property,

Thus, her total earning = 6% of 380,000

= 0.06 × 380,000

= $ 22,800
