Question

Laura makes a 10.5% commission on each of her sales. How much does she make when she sells a house for $85,000?

Answer 1

If Laura makes 10.5% of her sales and her sale is 85000, we take into consideration that the word "of" here means to multiply, therefore, we multiply the percentage as a decimal by her sale to get that amount she earns as commission. .105*85000= 8,925

Answer 2

Laura makes $8,925.

Explanation:

The price of a house that Laura sold = $85,000

She gets commission on her each sales = 10.5%

We have to calculate her commission by calculating 10.5% of 85,000.

= 10.5% × 85,000

=
`(10.5)/(100)` × 85,000

= 0.105 × 85,000

= 8925

Laura makes $8,925 as commission.
