Mrs. Miller sells a house for $179,000. If she earns a commission of 6%, how much money does she earn? Write a proportion and show your work.
omg thanksssss
To find out how much money Mrs. Miller earns as a commission, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
Let's denote the commission Mrs. Miller earns as 'x'. We know that the commission is calculated as a percentage of the sale price. In this case, the commission rate is 6% (or 6/100).
The proportion can be set up as follows:
Commission / Sale Price = Commission Rate / 100%
x / $179,000 = 6 / 100
Now, we can cross-multiply to solve for 'x':
x = ($179,000 * 6) / 100
= $10,740
Therefore, Mrs. Miller earns a commission of $10,740.
179,000/100 = x/6
1074000 = 100x
10,740 = x
Your welcome:))
