Question

Brian is a real estate agent. He makes a 2.5% commission on each sale. During the month of June he sold three houses. The houses sold for $153,000, $299,000, and $121,000. What was Brian’s total commission on these three sales?

Answer 1

Brian earned a total of $14,325.

Explanation:

First house = $3825

( 2.5% × 153000 )

Second house = $7475

( 2.5% × 299000 )

Third house = $3025

( 2.5% × 121000 )

Total commission =

3825 + 7475 + 3025 = $14,325
