The Sir Walter Scott Mental Health Center has a budget of $20.000 for recruiting costs
the position of Facility Director. The Center has spent $5,300 on advertising expenses and
$3,500 on interviewing expenses. They are willing to pay 5.5% commission on selling the
selected individual's home. What is the maximum selling price that the Sir Walter Scott
Mental Health Center would pay 5.5% commission on in order to stay at or below the
$20,000 in total recruiting costs?

Answer:

Hey there!

5300+3500=8800

20000-8800=11200

1.055x=11200

x can be at most 10616 dollars.

Hope this helps :)
