Question

Jackie earns 8% commission selling houses. She just sold a house for $165,000. How much is her commission?

Answer 1

165000 times 8 is 1320000 divided by 100 is 13200

Answer 2

13,200
because you would take 165,000 and mulitply it by .08 (because it is a percent just move the decimal 2 places to the left to get it in decimal form) which would then give you 13,200
