If a=12 and 120% of a is equal to 80% of b then what is a+b

mojhsa [17]

A=12
120% of a =80% of b
120%a = 80%b
120a/100 = 80b/100
Divide through by 100
120a = 80b
Divide through by 80
120a/80 = b
But a=12
120x 12/80 = b
18 = b
b = 18

a+b = 12 + 18 = 30

Jane earns a 5.5% commission on the selling price of each home she sells. She earned $9,020 in commission on the sale of a home.

ratelena [41]

Answer:

"$164000" is the appropriate answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the selling price be "s".

As per the question,

If Jane take 5.5% of selling price i.e.,

= $0.055\times s$

Given commission,

= $9,020

then,

The selling price will be:

⇒ $0.055\times s=9020$

$s=\frac{9020}{0.055}$

$=164000$ ($)
