First, she gets 3%, or half, of the 6% commission
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+x+\" = the sales price of the property
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.03x+\" = her commission
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Then She does a 60/40 commission split, so
\n" ); document.write( "she is left with \"+%28+60%2F100+%29%2A%28+.03x+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+60%2F100+%29%2A%28+.03x+%29+=+4140+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+3%2F5+%29%2A%28+.03x+%29+=+4140+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.03x+=+%28+5%2F3+%29%2A4140+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.03x+=+6900+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+6900+%2F+.03+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+230000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The sales price of the property is $230,000
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
