Question

A Real estate agent receives a commission of 9% on property sold through her. What is her commission on a sale of $42,000?

Answer 1

Answer: her commission would be $3780

Explanation:

The Real estate agent receives a commission of 9% on property sold through her. If she made a sale of $x, her commission would be

9/100 × x = 0.09×x = 0.09x

Since she made a sale of $42,000, x becomes $42,000. Therefore

her commission would be

9/100× 42000 = 0.09× 42000 = $3780

Answer 2

$ 3780 will be commission

as the commission is 9 % of the total amount of property sold

property sold for = 42000 $

9 % of the total property= 0.09 x 42000

= 3780 $
