Robert and Nikki want to get $95000 from the sale of their home. the realtors commission rate is 9% of the selling price. what should the selling price be?
Let selling price be $x
9% of X = x- $95000
.09 X =X -$95000
$95000 =x-.09x
95000=.91X
X =95000/.91= $9500000/91 =104395.60
answer $104,395.60 approx
