a real estate agent earns a commission of 4% of the selling price for each house he sells. How expensive of a house does he have

Vika [28.1K]

Given that rate of commission earned by the real estate agent = 4%

Given that required commission that real estate agents wants to earn = $7000.

Now we have to find about how expensive of a house does he have to sell to earn $7000.

So let the cost of house = $x

then commission earned = 4% of x

Given commision is $7000 so both quantities will be equal and we get equation:

4% of x = 7000

0.04x = 7000

x = 7000/0.04

x = 175000

Hence final answer is $175000.

Amber works as a waitress at a restaurant. She earns an hourly wage and also earns tips. One night, she worked 6 hours and earne

Answer:

Hey there!

The given equation helps us understand the relationship between Amber's tips earned and the money she earned through her hourly wage. This information will add up to equal a grand total of $69.20.

We know that Amber earns $15.50 in tips during her 6 hour shift. Therefore, this is not considered part of her wage. This would be one of the constants of our equation.

We also know that Amber earns a fixed hourly wage, but we don't know what this wage is. We need to find w.

$6w+15.5=\$69.20$
