Question

A real estate company makes 10%

commission. Jen works for the
company and sold a $320,000 house.
She gets 2/3 of the commission. How
much does she make on her sale?​

Answer 1

$21,333.33

Explanation:

This question contains two steps. First, we need to find what 10% of $320,000 is.

Lets change 10% into a decimal:

10% ->
`(10)/(100)` -> 0.10

Now, multiply $320,000 by 0.10

`x=320,000(0.10)`

`x=32,000`

The second part of the problem needs us to find 2/3 of the $32,000.

Multiply $32,000 by 2/3

`x=32,000((2)/(3))`

`x=21,333.33`

Jen makes $21,333.33 on her sale.
