By selling a home without using a realtor, Barb can avoid paying a 7.25% commission. She received an offer of $275,000 from a potential buyer. In order to give a comparable offer, for what price would a realtor need to sell the house? Round to the nearest hundred.

To find the price at which a realtor would need to sell the house, we need to determine the 7.25% commission that Barb would pay if she used a realtor.

First, we calculate the commission that Barb would pay:

Commission = (7.25/100) * $275,000

Commission = $19,937.50

Now, we need to subtract the commission from the offer price to calculate the amount that would go to Barb if she used a realtor:

Price without commission = $275,000 - $19,937.50

Price without commission = $255,062.50

Therefore, a realtor would need to sell the house for approximately $255,100 (rounded to the nearest hundred) in order to give a comparable offer after deducting the 7.25% commission.
