A real estate broker sold your house for $189,000. The broker's commission was 4.5% of the selling price. How much would you get for the house after the commission is paid

Respuesta :

180,495, because you take 4.5% and turn it in a decimal moving the decimal point 2 places to the left so it would be .045 x 189,000 = 8,505.
189,000 - 8,505 = 180,495

Answer:

$ 1,80,495 would be paid for the house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The selling price of the house = $ 189,000

While, the commission = 4.5% of the cost of the house

= 4.5 % of 189,000

[tex]=\frac{4.5\times 189000}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{850500}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=\$8505[/tex]

⇒ The final price of the house = The selling price of the house - commission

= $ 189,000 - $ 8505

= $ 1,80,495

Hence,  $ 1,80,495 would be paid for the house.
