Answer 1

Least - House G, 5% on $75,000

Middle - House F, 4% - $100,000

Greatest - House H, 6% on $70,000

Explanation:

House G says 5% commission on $75,000 so how much is that?

?/75,000 = 5/100. 5 ÷ 100 = .05 x 75,000 = 3,750.

House F says 4% commission on $100,000 so how much is that?

?/100,000 = 4/100. 3 ÷ 100 = .04 x 100,000 = 4,000.

House H says 6% commission on $70,000 so how much is that?

?/70,000 = 6/100. 6 ÷ 100 = .06 x 75,000 = 4,200.

Now order the numbers from peats to greatest. House G: $3,750 ; House F: $4,000 ; House H: $4,200.

There’s your answer.
