Question 150321: Mark and Brenda wish to get $82,800 for their home. The real estate agent's
commission is 10% of the selling price. What should the selling price be? Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! "selling price" - "commission" = "money from sale of home"
.
Let x = selling price
then
x - .10x = 82800
x(1-.10) = 82800
x(.90) = 82800
x = 82800/(.90)
x = $92,000
