The commission earned by the real estate agent if he sell a house for $150,000 at 6% is $9,000.

How much commission did the real estate agent earn?

Percentage of commission = 6%

Selling price of the house = $150,000

Amount of commission earned = Percentage of commission × Selling price of the house

= 6% × $150,000

= 0.06 × 150,000

= $9,000

Therefore, the real estate agent earned $9,000
