Answer 2

Since Tamara makes 5% commission on her sales, this in decimal form is presented as .05. So we can find 5% of her $350,000 sale by multiplying her commission rate by her total sale. Her commission rate is .05 and her sale is 350,000, when we multiply that number we get 17,500.
Tamara's commission on this house is $17,500.
