Answer 1

Answer:

Eric earned last month US$ 9,786.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Commission of Eric on each house sold = 5% = 0.05

House 1 $55,000

55,000 * 0.05 = $ 2,750

House 2 $105,525

105,525 * 0.05 =  $ 5,276.25

House 3 $35,200

35,200 * 0.05 = $ 1,760

Eric earned last month =  $ 2,750 +  $ 5,276.25 + $ 1,760

Eric earned last month US$ 9,786.25
