Question

bea earned $ 11,700.00 commission for selling a house calculated at 6/100 of the selling price. what was the selling price of the house?

Answer 1

Given:

Commision earned = $11,700

The commission was calculated at 6/100 of the selling price.

To find the selling price of the house, we have the equation:

`11700=(6)/(100)S`

Where S represents the selling price of the house.

Let's solve for S.

Multiply both sides of the equation by 100:

`\begin{gathered} 11700(100)=(6)/(100)S\ast100 \\ \\ 1170000=6S \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides of the equation by 6:

`\begin{gathered} (1170000)/(6)=(6S)/(6) \\ \\ 195000=S \\ \\ S=195000 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the selling price of the house is $195,000

ANSWER:

$195,000
