Question

Jesse sold his home for $187,999. During the sale process, Jesse paid his broker a commission of 6% of the sale price, $1,500 in marketing for the home, and $5,000 in other closing costs. How much did Jesse realize from the sale of his home, rounded to the nearest dollar

Answer 1

6% of $187,999 = .06*187999 = $11279.94
This is what the broker made off commission. Now add all the other fees.

112799.94+1500+5000=$17779.94
Round this to the nearest dollar and you have $17780. This is how much it cost Jesse for the sale of his home.

I am not sure what you mean ‘how much did Jesse realize’.
