A real estate agency sells a house for $315000. The real estate agent earns a commission of 5 3/4%. The real estate agency keeps 10 1/8% of the sale. Taxes take 4 1/8%, and the rest goes to the seller. How much does the seller get from the sale of the house?

$252000

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of real estate without commission = $315000

Total percentage commission on sale = 5 3/4 + 10 1/8 + 4 1/8

5 3/4 + 10 1/8 + 4 1/8 = 23/4 + 81/8 + 33/8

23/4 + 81/8 + 33/8 = 46+81+33/8

23/4 + 81/8 + 33/8 = 160/8

23/4 + 81/8 + 33/8 = 20%

Hence the total percent commission is 20%

Commission amount = 20% of $315000

Commission amount = 20/100 * 315000

Commission amount = 0.2*315000

Commission amount = $63000

The amount the seller get = $315000 = $63000

The amount the seller get= $252000

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
