Problema Solution
A real estate agent earns a comission of 6% on the sale of a house. If the agent earned $11,700 as her commission, what was the original price of the house?
Answer provided by our tutors
commission =11700
commission= 6 / 100
x= total house price
11700 / x = 6 / 100
6x= 1170000
1170000 / 6= 195000
total house price = $195,000
