Martha Barry · Answer 1

With a 5% commission, Tamara gets 5/100 of the total sale. If she sells a home that is worth $350,000, then she gets 5/100 times the total price. That means to find out how much she makes, we need to multiply $350,000 by 5/100.

$350,000 * 5/100 is $17,500, so her commission is D, $17,500.
