Question

A real estate agent earns a 6% commission on each property she sells. If she sells a detached house for $200,000 and a cottage for $180,000, how much commission will she earn?
A.
$12,000
B.
$22,800
C.
$10,800

Answer 1

B. $22800

First 200000 × 6% = $ 12000

then 180000 × 6% = $ 10800

Therefore her commission earned is :

12000 + 10800

= 22800

Answer 2

Answer:

B.  $22,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

commission earned on each property = $6$%

price of detached house = $ $200,000$  

price of cottage = $ $180,000$

Total commision earned (C) = commission on house + commission on cottage

C = 6% of $200,000 + 6% of $180,000

$C=\frac{6}{100}*200000 + \frac{6}{100}*180000$

$C={6}*2000 + {6}*1800$

$C=12000+10800$

$C=22,800$

Thus a total commission of $22,800 is earned on selling a detached house and a cottage.
